Laminitis is a common but devastating condition, and affected horses are often euthanized or influenced a very long time. Many horses never return to their original capacity. Laminitis is often associated with severe pain and a long time of convalescence. Symthoms includes …
Laminitis has crippled horses through times and many cures have been used to treat it. Since the mechanism of the disease is yet not fully understood, treatments are only ways to alleviate the pain and at best, slow down the pathological process enough to make time for …
Obese horses with insulin resistance are often also afflicted with laminitis. Horses with these symptoms are given the diagnosis equine metabolic syndrome (EMS). Signs of insulin resistance are excessive accumulation of adipose tissue on the neck, around the withers and on the …
Laminitis is a debilitating disease causing much suffering to horses and ponies all over the world. It is manifested in the hooves as a mechanical failure of the suspensory apparatus between the hoof capsule and the distal phalanx. Due to the weight of the horse the disease may …
… are negatively affected by this. The cow may also get serious problems such as laminitis and abomasal dislocation. The milk yield and its protein and fat contents is also affected by the amounts of concentrates and forage in the diet. To walk around for hours and graze is a part …
… claw growth, claw conformation and claw diseases, with special emphasis on laminitis-related lesions such as sole hemorrhages, their prevalence and associations. Moreover, the influence of breed and weight gain was assessed as well. At the end of the evaluating period and before …
… the cow is adapted to a diet consisting of forage and disorders like acidosis, laminitis and abomasal displacement can occur if the feed contains too much starch. To achieve the highest production possible the cow has to be given a high amount of concentrate or grain as the …
… are negative for both human and horse, such as overweight, underweight, colic, laminitis, stereotypies, deficiency diseases and gastric ulcers. To work out a balanced feeding plan, with the right balance between nutrients, minerals and vitamins, can be quite complicated since …
… that includes obesity, regional adiposity, insulin resistance (IR) and laminitis. A similar syndrome exists in human medi-cine, the metabolic syndrome (MS), were systemic hypertension also is a prominent fea-ture. The systemic hypertension seen in humans with MS is partly due to …
… and to briefly explain the aetiology, diagnostic and treating methods of laminitis, white line disease and perforating injuries. Based on the information sought in scientific journals and books, suggestions on specific care needs are explained. Examples of specific care needs …
Fång är ett ökande problem i hästpopulationen och ett samband mellan fetma, insulinresistens och en förhöjd risk för fång har setts i ett flertal studier. Fältdiagnostiken för påvisande av insulinresistens är idag mycket begränsad och de metoder som framför allt används, mätning …
I takt med ökande mjölkproduktion hos dagens mjölkkor ökar också energibehovet vilket ställer stora krav på utfodringen. En stor andel kraftfoder i foderstaten kan ge upphov till en pH-sänkning i vommen och subakut vomacidos (SARA) kan uppkomma. Syftet med den här …
Ekvint metabolt syndrom är ett relativt nytt begrepp där drabbade hästar kan karaktäriseras av ökad generell och regional fettansättning, rubbningar i glukos- och fettmetabolismen, insulinresistens samt ibland klinisk eller subklinisk fång. Just insulinresistens är av intresse …
Syftet med detta arbete är att ge en översikt om vad som publicerats avseende patogenes, symptom och diagnosticering av PPID samt översiktligt korrelera PPID till patogenes och behandling vid fång. Hypofysen delas in i neurohypofysen och adenohypofysen, som i sin tur är uppdelad …
… dairy cows are considered to increase the risk for claw lesions, most of all laminitis, sole haemorrhages and sole ulcers, but also to increase the risk for environmental claw lesions. The aim of this study was to compare claw health in 27 Swedish dairy farms, 18 with high …
