Often the cause may not be known but can include irregularities in feeding, sudden change of diet, indigestion, gas build up, gorging on grain, eating of a substance which expands when dampened, intestinal accident, blockage, contractions, and inflamation. The risk of colic occurring is increased with high carbohydrate diets and inadequate access to hay or grass. A regular feeding schedule, constant access to clean water, adequate forage, consistent exercise routine and the avoidance of sudden changes in diet will all reduce the risk of colic occurring. Symptoms of colic include restlessness, kicking at the belly, pawing the ground or rolling in an effort to disperse the pain, lying down more than usual, frequently standing outstretched as if to urinate, turning the head towards the flank and curling of the upper lip. Food should be removed and nibbling at bedding should be prevented until the veterinarian arrives.

  • Horse Health - equine complaints in the tropics - http://www.comvet.com/html/body_equinehealth.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Horse Health- equine complaints in the tropics. Equine Health. Given the scarcity( and cost) of land, it is of little surprise that there is no horse breeding industry in Singapore( although animals from The National Stud in Malaysia are referred to as" local-breds"). This dearth of natural resources also means that all feed& other necessities must be imported, the horses spend a considerable amount of time in relatively small stables and there are no easily accessible spelling stations. These factors, coupled with the high cost of ownership and maintenance, not infrequently results in animals with injuries or health problems not receiving adequate time to recover, or alternatively, if extended rest is mandatory, being euthanased. Having most horses in a relatively controlled situation does, however, have certain benefits- routine anthelmintic, vaccination, dental and farriery programs can be instituted and monitored with relative ease( assuming club/ owner compliance). Economies of scale allow feed, other necessities and even horses to be obtained in" bulk", helping to minimise costs, and as most stables have resident staff( syces), the supervision of individual animals is made considerably easier. Thus reproductive disorders are of minor significance here, and if traumatic injuries are excluded, the most common reasons for seeking veterinary advice are digestive tract dysfunction( dermatological complaints, lameness, ocular disease, respiratory disease," dry-coatedness" and heat-stress. home| importing pets| pet health| clinic tour| equestrian| vax sarcoma| about singapore| contact.

  • Equine Colic - http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/8037/colic.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Equine Colic: its Causes, Variations, Remedies, and Preventive Measures. ** A note- please remember that I am not a veterinarian( although I wish I was.), and I may be wrong or not completely correct in some spots. [ Types of Colic][ Indications that a horse has colic][ Colic and the myenteric plexuses][ Remedies for Colic][ Causes and Preventative Measures for Colic][ Summation]. Equine colic is a sometimes serious condition, and can be defined as" any crisis which causes abdominal discomfort in a horse" A more scientific definition, however, is" a spasm of any soft or hard hollow organ, such as the abdomen, that is accompanied by pain". The general term‘ colic is also given to any dysfunction of the digestive system of the horse, including twisting, swelling, infection, or lesions. In such cases, the horse's chronic colic may never be fully alleviated, or understood as to its cause, but there are a number of preventative measures one can take( to be discussed at a later time). The American Association of Equine Practitioners( AAEP) has classified colic into three specific groups- intestinal dysfunctions, intestinal accidents, and enteritis or ulcerations. Intestinal dysfunctions are the most common and mean simply that the horse's bowels are not functioning properly. Intestinal accidents occur less frequently and include displacements, torsions and hernias- which occurs when sections of the intestine become trapped or pinched in body cavities. Enteritis or ulcerations are types of colic related to inflammation, infections, and lesions within the digestive tract. Excessive sweating, pawing, rolling, looking at their belly, lying down at unusual times, and tail wringing usually associated with the stamping of the hind feet( particularly if there are no flies) are all signposts that your horse has some form of abdominal pain. Other symptoms also include repeated yawning or grinding of their teeth, refusal to eat( still apparent from the first sign), a depressed attitude, a change in the appearance or consistency of manure( watery, too solid, etc. Normally, you should hear 2 or 3 gurgles( which signify that food is moving through the digestive system properly) every minute, and a loud growl every 1 to 3 minutes. The horse may also engage in lying down and getting up frequently, nipping at their flanks, stretching more often then usual, pacing, and difficulty with breathing. There are other less common causes as well, including kidney disease, liver disease, tying up( a muscle condition characterized by cramping and acute pain), or ovarian pain, in which a mare may exhibit colic symptoms 3 to 5 days into her heat cycle. Delving into the more scientific side of colic, there was a study done to determine if" deficiencies in the myenteric plexuses of horses might be associated with the incidence of colic." The myenteric plexuses can be defined as" one of the two plexuses[ network of nerves or of blood or lymphatic vessels] in the wall of the alimentary canal." The researchers measured the myenteric plexus density, longitudinal muscle thickness, and neuron[ a nerve cell, the structural and functional unit of the nervous system] density, for both normal horses and those with" acute obstruction and chronic obstruction". The researchers found that although in acute obstruction( cases which have occurred for less then 24 hours) those factors were the same as in normal horses, chronic cases( greater than 24 hours) had a lower neuron density in the pelvic flexure. Horses with strangulating large colon torsion/ volvulus had significantly less myenteric plexus density in certain areas of the colon except the left ventral. Horses that survived despite the strangulation had greater neuron density than those that died. The longitudinal muscle thickness was greater in the pelvic flexure of horses with acute and chronic obstructions than normal horses. Also, they should be prepared to give the horse's temperature, color of mucous membranes and capillary refill time, behavioral signs( kicking, pawing, etc.), digestive noises, bowel movements, any recent changes in the horse's life, and his breeding history. The vet will attempt to pass a nasogastric tube through the nose, esophagus, and then to the stomach so as to relieve pressure on the stomach and small intestine. Since some causes of colic include such things as an environmental or feeding change, they should be minimized much as possible. Another preventative measure is to include regular parasite control, or deworming into horse's lives. If good management policies are followed as they should be in the first place, horses should not develop problems with colic. However, if they do come down with it, today's modern technology( including a hand held computer utilized by veterinarians for which can quickly tell him or her plans of action for that particular case) is on the side of the horse. | The Instruments I play| Who the heck is this person anyway?| My Horseless Horselover's Penpal Club| My tribute to my late parakeet and cat- Jerry and Ariel| My adopted cyber kitty| My Chatroom| My Pets| A Few Good Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet| My Rat and rats in general| My Horse Page| Horse Trivia| Equine Colic.

In many instances, the diagnosis is made by exclusion of other specific conditions rather than actually identifiying the location of the gas. Gas colic is an extremely common reason for horses to exhibit signs of abdominal pain and, fortunately, one that has a very good prognosis for survival. Although it is often extremely difficult to identify the inciting cause for the development of gas colic, inadequate access to roughage, poor parasite control, stress, and administration of certain anthelmintics have been implicated in certain cases. The latter could be due to alterations in normal intestinal peristalsis caused by inflammation of the intestinal wall or spasm of the intestinal muscles. In either case, as the intestine distends, pain-sensitive receptors in the intestinal wall are stimulated and signals are sent to the horse's brain which cause the horse to experience abdominal pain. Horses respond to these signals by showing the signs that we associate with the presence of colic, most notably pawing, looking at the flank, stretching out, lying down, and, in some cases, rolling. Complications from gas distention arise if the distended bowel becomes displaced or twists upon itself. The likelihood that rolling causes intestinal displacements, however, is probably rather small. Instead, the fact that the gas distended portion of the intestine would naturally rise to the top of the abdominal cavity, suggest that twisting of the intestine occurs by itself. In other words, horses probably roll in response to the intestinal twist rather than cause the intestinal twist by rolling. If, however, the horse tries to roll violently and in the process increases the risk of hurting himself or his handlers, he should be forced to stand and walk. Horses with gas colic should be seen by a veterinarian and treated to avoid further complications. The overall aim is to keep the horse comfortable, move the gas through the intestinal tract, and help get peristalsis working again. Because of the strong circumstantial evidence linking gas colic with alterations in feed, the horse's diet should include constant access to good quality hay and clean water.

Thousands of dollars have been invested in colic studies, yet it is still an offender of even the healthiest horses. The American Association of Equine Practitioners classifies colic in horses into three groups; intestinal dysfunctions, intestinal accidents and enteritis or ulcerations. There are a myriad of causes, but most colics fall under these three groups; Intestinal Dysfunction- This is the most common category and simply means the horse's bowels are not working properly. Intestinal Accidents- These occur less frequently and include displacements, torsions and hernias, whereby sections of the intestine become trapped or pinched in body cavities. Enteritis or Ulcerations- These are colics related to inflammations, infections and lesions within the digestive tract. They can be caused by numerous factors including stress, disease, salmonellosis and parasites. Colic appears to be preceded by many complicated factors, and moreover is a major cause of disease and death. There are many signs of colic including repeatedly lying down and getting up or attempting to do so, rolling, sitting in a dog-like position or lying on the back. This unique study went beyond the laboratory and into private practices throughout Texas to determine whether or not management factors influence the onset of colic. " Studies at veterinary hospitals represent only a small selected subset of the general equine population," Dr." Researchers wanted to identify factors related to medical history, husbandry, and health management that might induce the chance of colic in a horse. They evaluated a variety of situations including logistics of farm environment, stabling conditions, feed management, health and dental care, and recent transport or change in diet and activity. Eighty-two veterinarians provided data from 821 horses with colic for specific management factors for a 15 month period. They were then asked to record the same data for a non-colic case( such as a laceration or lameness treatment) that immediately followed the call to the colic case. The latter data was used as a" control" to the colic results to obviate any seasonal bias in choosing the comparison population. Horses that had a change in stabling conditions two weeks prior to the time of examination have a higher probability of colicking also. We are seeking funding for these studies that will provide specific, practical suggestions for horse owners. Though not found to be associated with colic, sound management factors such as deworming, dentistry and vaccination should always be integrated by every horse owner. " We believe that preventive medicine is essential for decreasing the burden of disease in horses," Dr. " Good, consistent management has important health and economic consequences.

    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Equine health care and nutrition products with a holistic approach. Welcome To: Ultra Bio-Logics Inc. Equine Products Division. Manufacturers of Equine Health Care Nutrition Performance Products. Manufacturers of equine nutrition products, equine health care products, horse feed ingredients and supplements, micro flora preparations, probiotics, nutraceuticals, herbal holistic plant preparations, beneficial bacterial cultures, horse thrush treatment, probiotics, biological bacterial and enzyme products, chelated herbs plants vitamins and minerals, horses performance and endurance, foot and hoof care, organic dewormers, stamina nervous tendencies, intestinal stabilizers, colic preparations, chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine, MSM, iodine for thrush etc. With Equine DW-123 dewormer may be added to the horses daily feed ration and is safe to use on a regular basis as an effective preventative. Ingredients: Diatomaceous earth( DE), pure garlic extracts combined with palatable lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation solubles rich in metabolites. Ingredients Information: Diatomaceous earth and garlic have been traditional cures for worms and other internal parasites. Garlic is also ideal for respiratory disorders due to it's expectorant qualities and is one of the known herbs to prevent and fight infections. Lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation solubles are the condensed substrate of the fermentation of whey inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and fortified with specific microbial nutrients. They are rich in the metabolites produced by probiotics and therefore act as stimulants for growth and reproduction of beneficial intestinal micro-organisms. These solubles are also documented growth inhibitors for pathogens( e.g. A horse's beneficial intestinal bacteria can be destroyed or depleted and the pH of their environment can be altered during times of stress. Competition, travel and breeding or treatment with antibiotics, dewormers and other medications can cause this stress. Without the beneficial intestinal bacteria, food ferments instead of being digested. Undigested foods may then lead to situations of colic, bloat, founder and increase the possibility of developing allergic conditions. BIO-AID SY: Increases the utilization of all the ingredients in the complete equine feed ration and improves the overall performance of horses, and also helps reduce nervous tendencies. Bio-Aid SY also contains pure extracts of the yucca plant which are known to be beneficial in cases of arthritis, bursitis, rheumatism and persistent inflammation. Organic Selenium Yeast* Vitamin E* Fermentation Solubles. Vitamin E and Selenium have been shown to be an important combination in reducing problems associated with tying up, poor performance and nervousness. The most common cause is geographical areas consisting of soils, which are deficient in Selenium. Horses that are exposed to heavy conditioning, fast growth and pollution can benefit from the supplementation of Vitamin E and Selenium. Results of recent experiments illustrate the value of providing dietary Se in an organic form. The natural yeast fermentation process is supplemented with the necessary levels of selenium. The yeast cream is than pasteurized to prevent contamination and spray dried and combined with our lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation solubles for the highest quality product of its kind. This process allows the selenium to interact with the yeast cell components and the processing conditions cause a natural chelating effect which preserve the level of highly available essential nutrients. Numerous University research studies have clearly and effectively demonstrated increased retention of Se, when fed in the form of Se yeast. The natural yeast fermentation process is supplemented with the necessary levels of Chromium. The yeast cream is than pasteurized to prevent contamination and spray dried and than combined with our lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation solubles for the highest quality product of its kind. This process allows the chromium to interact with the yeast cell components and the processing conditions cause a natural chelating effect which preserves the level of highly available nutrients. ( 1995) of a positive response to organic Cr supplementation in exercising Thoroughbred horses is exciting. Using a switchback design in which the horses received 5 mg/ day of Cr from Cr yeast, benefits were observed in metabolic response during periods of strenuous exercise on a high-speed treadmill. During the exercise period, Cr supplementation reduced plasma glucose, plasma lactate, plasma cortisol and elevated plasma triglycerides. Numerous University research studies have clearly and effectively demonstrated the benefits in supplementing chromium in animal diets. Some of the benefits are listed below in order to objectively evaluate the need for adding chromium to existing high quality diets. Polynicotinate chromium is also more bioavailable than chromium picolinate. Animal research study at the University of California found that polynicotinate chromium was absorbed and retained up to 311% better than chromium picolinate and 672% better than chromium chloride. The high bioavailability means that polynicotinate chromium has the ability to deliver more of the healthy benefits chromium has to offer. Schwarz and Mertz in 1959 were the first to identify chromium as the active constituent of the glucose tolerance factor( GTF). Although the exact structure of GTF is unknown, it is thought to be a nicotinic acid-trivalent chromium-nicotinic acid axis with ligands of glutamic acid, glycine and cysteine( Mertz et al. Chromium may have several biological functions, including activating certain enzymes and maintaining structural integrity of nucleic acids, but its main role is as the key component of the GTF which enhances the action of insulin summary, there is a growing body of evidence which suggest that chromium may be an essential trace element for livestock and poultry. The nutritional requirement for chromium may vary with different specie and physiological state within a specie. Packaging: 1 pound resealable/ reusable containers. Minimum assorted product combination orders of$ 50.00 apply. EquiHoof Formula# 3. Objective: To maintain optimal balance of foot and hoof structural integrity. EquiHoof is fortified with essential trace minerals and AMINO ACID CHELATES, CHOLINE CITRATES, METHIONINE CHELATES, OXIDES and SULFATES to assure proper assimilation and utilization of these trace minerals to grow a good quality hoof. A significant trace mineral profile difference in the composition of a GOOD QUALITY HOOF verses POOR QUALITY HOOF was discovered through extensive testing. EquiHoof is formulated with biotin and methionine in proper proportions for rapid hoof growth resulting in a strong, flexible, fast growing hoof that will hold more than a nail! Daily, EquiHoof will supplement approximately 30 mg of Biotin and 2000 mg of methionine to your horse. EquiHoof is fortified with enzymes, yeasts and micro organisms to assure proper digestion, utilization and absorption of the feed stuffs you already feed your horse plus the nutrients found in EquiHoof. Objective: To Maintain Optimal Balance of Osteo Articular and Nervous System. All of us are aware of equines predispositions, as athletes, to tendon, muscle and osteoarticular injuries. In most cases, even though training methods thrive at achieving optimal body and mental fitness, equines remain vulnerable to damages of the osteoarticular system including the soft connective tissues( tendons and ligaments) surrounding the joints of these complex structures. Predisposing factors are not only related to strenuous training methods: multiple race track conditions, adverse conditions under which we demand horses to perform and, also, transportation under stressful circumstances are not negligible to osteoarticular injuries. Manifestations of inflammation on a physical level are: heat, swelling, tenderness and eventually pain leading to stiffness and possibly reduced locomotion!. Manifestations on a psychological level is a tendency to express anxiety which will usually lead to unpredictable behavior and/ or abnormal temperament. It is important to realize how often nervousness in equines underlies physical discomfort such as inflammation with pain!. In the specialized field of Nutraceuticals, it is now recognized possible to supplement adequately the osteoarticular function thus maintaining optimal mobility! Proper supplementation of the normal ration( diet) can affect not only the symptoms but the causes of inflammation! Much has been discovered about inflammation being associated with such factors as nutrient deficiency, uric acid build-up, histamine release, inflammatory prostaglandins," free-radical" damage at a cellular level, immune system dysfunction, and so on. Ultra Bio-Logics has created a dietary supplement designed to maintain optimal function of osteoarticular system that also releives nervous tension associated with inflammation and/ or pain. Feverfew contains sesquiterpenes which have the ability to inhibit prostaglandins and histamine release during inflammation process. Valerian, skullcap, passion flower all have anxiolytic properties and act as anti-spasmodics without sedating. Devils claw contains harpagosides that reduce inflammation in the joints, while Tumeric, contains curcumin and acts as an analgesic thus reducing pain! Horsetail provides organic calcium, silica and phosphorous. C Methionine and MSM are organic sources of sulfur, a vital nutrient required for the formation of collagen, the connective tissue in the body. Proline is an amino-acid that stimulates the production of collagen and is needed to strengthen ligaments, tendons and cartilage. D Anti-Oxidants are a class of nutrients that protect the body from cell-damaging molecules known as free-radicals. Included in the formula are Selenium, Zinc, Vitamin C and Vitamin E. These nutrients are also associated with tissue healing and tonification of the immune system. E Bioflavonoids are synergists with Vitamin C and are important to preserve and protect structure of capillaries. In fact, for horses that are reputed" bleeders" we custom blend a formula that addresses itself to this specific unfortunate problem of" bleeding from the lungs" or epistaxis!. F Enzymes: Proteolytic enzymes inhibit the formation of inflammatory prostaglandins, increase the breakdown of fibrin which obstructs blood and lymphatic system, and stimulate protein synthesis, inviting new collagen to be formed, thus speeding up healing. G Vitamins: Niacin, Panthotenic acid and Pyridoxine are important to help form steroids and cortisone in the adrenal glands, improving circulation, nerve function and normalizing fluid retention. H Other important ingredients are a blend of rare earth minerals and marine kelp( ascophyllum nodosum). Also included are fermentation solubles rich in enzymes and micro nutrients. Supplement the existing diet with 60 to 80 grams daily of Equine Formula# 1. If symptoms re-occur after reducing dosage, normal supplementation should be continued as was done previously. Obviously, causes of the inflammation and/ or nervousness should be investigated, as it is always the case in any holistic approach. Equine Formula# 1 Sold In: 2 kg( 4.4 lbs) plastic flip top reusable containers. Maintaining peak performance requires that the liver and kidneys of the horse athlete operate efficiently. Both these organs metabolize and excrete wastes material and the liver has an enormous task at manufacturing various metabolic enzymes essential to health. For the liver and kidney functions to operate at their best, it is imperative that the organs of digestion assimilate optimally what a horse consumes! The circulatory system and liver must do their job freely so they may provide the cells with these fuels and remove harmful wastes by-products produced during catabolism. The Equine Formula# 4 provides the peak performing horse with a most advanced spectrum of macro and micro nutrients, vitamins, herbs, enzymes and probiotics to achieve this very precise objective: optimum performance without affecting health and longevity!. It is important for healthy epithelial cells( integrity of epithelial cells), fat storage and bone formation. Vitamin D is required for calcium and phosphorous absorption for normal growth and development of bone and teeth. Vitamin E improves circulation, enhances the oxygen utilization of muscular tissues, thereby improving athletic performance. Vitamin C is necessary for normal adrenal gland function, tissue growth and repair, anti-stress, hormone synthesis, formation of collagen, and white cell activity( immunity). BIOFLAVONOIDS are synergists with vitamin C and are important to preserve and protect the structure of capillaries. Vitamin B-complex including B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, CHOLINE BIOTIN, Folic acid and Inositol are actually co-enzymes involved with energy production. Vitamin K, the blood clotting vitamin, is also involved in converting glucose to glycogen for storage in the liver. B MINERALS including Iron, Copper, Iodine, Selenium, Magnesium, Potassium and Zinc function as co-enzymes to form blood, bone, and body fluids. They are involved in nerve transmission and the production of enzymes and hormones. It is important that these minerals be provided in a biological form( chelated or bound to an organic molecule such as they are in food). This allows these minerals to be absorbed into the blood and lymph and ultimately the individual cells. Micro or trace minerals are fundamental for metabolic enzyme production. C HERBS: Red Clover, Chapparal, Yellow Dock, Dandelion and Garlic are generally classified as" alternatives" which have the particular nature of purifying and detoxifying the blood and liver( and kidneys). Licorice and Capsicum assist by providing rapid and even distribution of the other active principles contained within the other herbs to critical functional centers of the body. Marine Kelp is there again with its 22 amino-acids, 12 vitamins and 60+ minerals, a store-house of nutrients beneficial to nerves, thyroid and hooves. Probiotics include those fermentation related factors such as naturally occurring live organisms( Lactobacillus acidophilus, Aspergillus orizae, Bacillus subtilis, Saccharomyces cerevisiae). They are found to be beneficial to the digestive tract be cause they produce digestive enzymes to help break down proteins, starches, fiber, fats and sugars. Carriers consist of fermentation solubles and rare earth minerals derived from a deposit of an ancient inland sea bed. This formula has been designed to assist the normal ration of equine athletes during training when reaching anticipated peak performance. Because the levels of dietary proteins are usually very high at that period, we recommend supplementing Equine Formula# 4 1 ounce( 28gram), twice daily, morning and night, at meal time. If frequency of meals is increased to 4 or even 5 small servings daily, one will realize the tremendous advantage in programming the diet this way, improving bio-availability of feedstuff by stimulating digestive enzyme secretion! We recommend alternating Formula# 4 with Formula# 5 every month. Equine Formula# 4 is- Sold In: 2 kg( 4.4 lbs) plastic flip top reusable containers. Immunity- Allergy- Breathing and Bleeders. This Formula was developed to assist horses that have a tendency to manifest recurrent ill symptoms, and where primary causes seem to be hard to find on a point of view of orthodox medicine! Chronic intermittent respiratory problems( influenza, nose bleeding), and a variety of skin ailments, even intestinal problems, are often related to certain food intolerance. Equines are proned to food enzyme deficiencies and to the array of nebulous symptoms related to this situation: by supplementing them with digestive enzymes, the exocrine pancreas function is relieved and the metabolic enzyme bank account does not have to be diverted to compensate for the lack of food enzyme of the modern diet! Do not forget that even equines suffer of this aberrant situation because of modern techniques of feed extrusion. extrusion and cubing destroy all inherent food enzymes naturally present in raw food. In a very important book entitled" Enzyme Nutrition", Dr.Edward Howell explains How and Why, modern men and the animals he has domesticated have become so afflicted with chronic degenerative diseases. One of the big problems has to do with the notion of" exocrine pancreas overload" due to chronic food enzyme deficiency! So it would mean that cooking food has not been all that great of a discovery! Practically speaking yes, because it offers the possibility to eat larger quantities of food than in the raw form at the same time but fundamentally it seems cooking food destroys all food enzyme leadin.g to a cascade of events responsible for more problems than one would like to think of!. The idea behind Equine Formula# 5 was to design a dietary supplement Tonic for the immune system of equines that could be alternated with Formula# 4 on a monthly basis. The reason behind this regime is to" cleanse" or promote optimal liver and kidney functions with Formula# 4 so metabolic wastes and toxins are more easily excreted and then, to follow up the program with Formula# 5, concentrating more on the immune system. By following this two step program, we have designed a very interesting way at maintaining OPTIMAL RESISTANCE TO DISEASE!. The holistic approach here, is to tonify or stimulate non-specific immunity. Of primary importance is the good habit of offering equines the best possible hay as the main food, in the best possible environment. When the best possible diet is offered under the best possible environmental conditions, then one has to be preoccupied by a way of providing the best possible supplementation regime. 1 HERBS: Echinacea, cloves, cayenne, russian fennel, goldenseal, licorice, fenugreek, fennel, ginger, siberian ginseng. 7 Microflora preparations: friendly micro-organisms that maintain a healthy gut ecology. 8 Digestive enzymes mostly of the proteolytic group( protease) derived from Aspergillus niger, orizae and/ or Bacillus subtilis. Horses that have the reputation to be" allergic" with breathing or digestive problems, or manifestations of dermatitis( various types of skin ailments. Supplement for at least two to three months if problem is chronic as one has to think of changing" blood" quality. This will be done efficiently only when appropriate measures will be taken to improve dietary regime adequately!. Again, this formula was designed so supplementation should be done twice daily, one ounce at a time including some raw honey to the mixture so supplement will not settle down feeding bowl. but improvements usually start to show after three weeks), realize blood condition is starting to be less" toxic"! The Formula# 5 should be given for another month or two, and then alternated with Formula# 4. Equine Formula# 5 is- Sold In: 2 kg( 4.4 lbs) plastic flip top reusable containers. In processing and with extended storage, ENZYMES ARE DESTROYED. Your horse's body requires enzymes to process and deliver its food. Studies have shown that ANTI-OXIDANTS aid in stopping free radical damage from occurring in your horse's body. EquiZyme aids in eliminating this FREE RADICAL DAMAGE. Packaging: 1 pound resealable/ reusable containers. The residual medium( molasses) on which our selected strains are grown, are completely washed and removed during harvesting. Yeasts have been used for decades, as natural dietary supplements and are believed to contain growth and stimulatory factors in animal feeding applications. The benefits of yeast are not totally defined, however indications point to numerous advantages in the animal feed industry. Packaging: 1 pound resealable/ reusable containers. This new easy to use thrush treatment that does exactly what it is suppose to do, eliminate the bacterial fungus that cause thrush, quickly, economically, effectively and safely. Iorush Plus Is a unique concentrated liquid formula based on an organic iodine complex, food grade citric acid combined with, plant extracts of natural origin as wetting and dispersing agents. Iorush Plus contains no harsh caustic ingredients like many other commercial preparations, that may stunt new horn growth. Rich is sulfur, once garlic is ingested it will cleanse the blood and then be excreted through the pores of the skin where sulfur compounds are mildly noxious to parasites. Garlic is also ideal for respiratory disorders due to it's expectorant qualities and is one of the best herbs to prevent and fight infections. Packaging: 1 pound resealable/ reusable containers Price:$ call or email. It's benefits are many which include stimulating the body to overcome stress, fatigue and weakness. Ginseng will influence endurance and stamina to improve athletic performances without affecting mental and emotional boundaries. Ginseng also enhances the immune system and will strengthen the adrenal and reproductive glands. Packaging: 1 pound resealable/ reusable containers Price:$ call or email. We are an innovative privately owned company with divisions in Canada, Mexico and the USA, dedicated to formulating beneficial wholesome feed supplements for equine applications. At a time where the word natural is suffering many misconceptions, we are formulating various dietary aids derived from the knowledge and expertise of holistic veterinarians, nutritionists, physiologists, herbologists and specialists of ortho-molecular medicine. Most of our formulated equine product blends contain enzymes, vitamins, chelated minerals( proteinates, polysaccharides, citrates. The fillers that we use in these formulas are not the usual inert fillers, but" nutrient dense" fermentation solubles of selected grains we manufacture in the USA. We believe people should consult their veterinarians whenever their animals show abnormal symptoms. However, patients that have failed to respond to well validated orthodox treatments should be considered for appropriate safe nutritional interventions. We offer veterinary professionals, and all our clients, the choice of specific dietary compliments and logical alternatives to animals normal rations, whenever the need to" stabilize" various physiological functions occurs. Since health, per se, does not correspond to mere absence of symptoms, we strongly believe that progressive, rational dietary supplementation can be instrumental in influencing and promoting maintenance of a state of animal well-being.

      Document Excerpt: This information is updated each month on Horsecity.com. This is one of many articles provided to the public free of charge by the AAEP, American Association of Equine Practitioners. http:// www.aaep.org/ client.htm. Thousands of dollars have been invested in colic studies, yet it is still an offender of even the healthiest horses. The American Association of Equine Practitioners classifies colic in horses into three groups; intestinal dysfunctions, intestinal accidents and enteritis or ulcerations( please see side bar). There are a myriad of causes, but most colics fall under these three groups; Intestinal Dysfunction- This is the most common category and simply means the horse's bowels are not working properly. Intestinal Accidents- These occur less frequently and include displacements, torsions and hernias, whereby sections of the intestine become trapped or pinched in body cavities. Enteritis or Ulcerations- These are colics related to inflammations, infections and lesions within the digestive tract. They can be caused by numerous factors including stress, disease, salmonellosis and parasites. Colic appears to be preceded by many complicated factors, and moreover is a major cause of disease and death. There are many signs of colic including repeatedly lying down and getting up or attempting to do so, rolling, sitting in a dog-like position or lying on the back. This unique study went beyond the laboratory and into private practices throughout Texas to determine whether or not management factors influence the onset of colic. " Studies at veterinary hospitals represent only a small, selected subset of the general equine population," Dr." Researchers wanted to identify factors related to medical history, husbandry and health management that might induce the chance of colic in a horse. They evaluated a variety of situations including logistics of farm environment, stabling conditions, feed management, health and dental care, and recent transport or change in diet and activity. Eighty-two veterinarians provided data from 821 horses with colic for specific management factors for a 15 month period. They were then asked to record the same data for a non-colic case( such as a laceration or lameness treatment) that immediately followed the call to the colic case. The latter data was used as a" control" to the colic results to obviate any seasonal bias in choosing the comparison population. Horses that had a change in stabling conditions two weeks prior to the time of examination have a higher probability of colicking also. We are seeking funding for these studies that will provide specific, practical suggestions for horse owners. Though not found to be associated with colic, sound management factors such as deworming, dentistry and vaccination should always be integrated by every horse owner. " We believe that preventive medicine is essential for decreasing the burden of disease in horses," Dr. " Good, consistent management has important health and economic consequences.

  • Equine Colic - http://www.moormans.com/feedfacts/equine/horsejan99/index.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Prevention of Equine Colic by Judith A. College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Colorado State University, Ft. Colic is a general term used to describe any painful condition involving the horse's abdomen. Colic involving the gastrointestinal tract may be separated into four main segments spanning from the head to the tail:. Moderate colic pain is manifested as intermittent rolling, sweating, and striking at the abdomen. The degree of pain and the response of the animal to analgesics( pain relievers) are two of the criteria used to determine the severity of colic. Problems affecting the small intestine are typically evident by a shorter history of colic pain that progresses rapidly; whereas, problems involving the large colon( except a large colon twist) or small colon/ rectum are manifested by a prolonged history of colic with a slower progression. The treatment is dependent on a number of clinical and laboratory findings. Clinical findings which help determine the severity of a horse's colic include:. Nasogastric intubation for reflux( spontaneous fluid collected from the stomach tube). Response to treatment with analgesics( pain relievers). Abdominocentesis( collection of abdominal fluid surrounding the intestines). Similarly, an abdominocentesis may be needed to evaluate the intestinal integrity and any compromise to the bowel's blood supply. All of the previously mentioned factors will be taken into account in moderate to severe colic that has not responded to basic field interventions with analgesics and fluids/ laxatives through a stomach tube. Ultrasound is used to visualize small intestinal movement, size, and position of abdominal contents or organs. X-rays can be especially helpful for identifying enteroliths or sand impactions. The decision to treat a case of moderate to severe colic medically with aggressive intravenous fluids, feed withdrawal, laxatives, and analgesics versus surgery will depend on a balance of the factors outlined previously. Some factors that might send a horse to surgery for an abdominal exploratory to correct colic are uncontrollable pain, no improvement with intravenous fluids, extreme distension of the bowel on rectal examination, persistently elevated heart rate, abnormal abdominal fluid, or continuous gastric reflux. The most common causes of colic involving the stomach are associated with gastric ulcers and gastric distension caused by dietary indiscretion( i.e. Horses with gastric ulcer may have a history of grinding their teeth, excessive salivation, intermittent colic( often after eating), and poor appetite. Stomach ulcers and gastric dilation are treated with a balance between management and medications. Treatment of stomach cancers requires surgical intervention and carries a poor prognosis. The management changes for gastric ulcers involve removing any concentrates from the horse's diet to avoid excessive stomach acid production. Since horses continuously secrete stomach acid, continuous feeding of forage results in less stomach acid build-up. Any environmental stressors should be removed, such as intense training, long transport, housing with dominant horses, etc. Medications, such as Cimetidine& uml; or Ranitidine& uml;, that help heal the stomach by reducing acid may be used as well as drugs that coat the stomach and improve blood flow, such as Sucralfate& uml;. Any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs( phenylbutazone, Ketofen& uml;, and Banamine& uml;) must be avoided, because they contribute to gastric ulceration. Grain overload colic results from fermentation of excessive carbohydrates. In this case, all grain should be removed for a minimum of 24 hours or longer if complications develop. Colicky horses should be given mineral oil via stomach tube to help clear the grain and to reduce absorption of toxic by-products of grain fermentation. These horses are at risk for colic, diarrhea, and laminitis( founder) following excess grain ingestion and should be carefully monitored. Gastric ulcers are difficult to prevent, as all factors that contribute to the development of ulcers are not known. It is preferable to allow stalled horses access to free-choice forages. When non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are needed to treat lameness or other problems, avoid high doses for an extended period of time, especially in foals and young horses. To prevent accidental access to excessive quantities of grains, concentrates, or hay, ensure the feed storage area is securely enclosed. For additional nutritional management guidelines, refer to the sidebar" Nutritional Management: Preventing Equine Colic. The small intestine can be affected by numerous conditions that can cause colic. * Entrapment of intestines in abdominal structures. * Inguinal hernia( stallions or recently castrated geldings with intestines in scrotum). Treatment of the vast majority of small intestinal obstructions or strangulations requires immediate surgical intervention. If surgical intervention is an option, maintaining a nasogastric tube is essential to the horse's survival. If the stomach is not decompressed, it will rupture from small intestinal fluid back-up. The prognosis for horses requiring surgical intervention depends on the severity of the bowel compromise and the degree of systemic deterioration. Minor problems not associated with cancer carry a good prognosis; whereas, major problems or cancer carry a guarded to grave prognosis. Some bacterial types isolated from adult horses with enteritis are Salmonella sp. Horses with enteritis require an indwelling stomach tube to allow for regular stomach decompression. They must be maintained on large volumes of intravenous fluids, since they cannot tolerate oral fluids and are loosing large volumes of fluids as stomach reflux and diarrhea. Horses may be given broad spectrum intravenous antibiotics as well as anti-inflammatory drugs because they may suffer from immune compromise andtoxin absorption from the inflamed bowel. Some compromised horses will require plasma transfusions to combat protein losses and toxin absorption from the damaged intestines. The prognosis for these horses is variable and is largely dependent on the duration of reflux and systemic compromise. These horses are prone to laminitis; therefore, foot support should be provided and comfort monitored closely. Ascarid impactions occur in foals and young horses due to an excessive round worm parasite burden caused by a poor deworming schedule and/ or a heavy environmental parasite load. It is recommended to start deworming foals at six to eight weeks of age and continue deworming every six weeks until six months of age. At this time, foals may be included in the farm's deworming schedule, which typically involves deworming every eight to twelve weeks. In addition, harrowing fields, rotating pastures, and picking up manure in the fields/ paddocks on a regular basis will decrease the exposure of foals and adults to intestinal parasites. Strangulation--Causes include intestinal torsion/ volvulus( twisted colon) and diaphragmatic hernia. Motility Alterations--Causes include excessive contractions of the intestines or excessive gas. * Infection: Common infectious causes of colitis involve bacteria( Salmonella or Clostridium), Erlichia risticii( potomac horse fever), and parasites( large strongyles and small encysted strongyles). The treatment of colitis is very similar to that outlined for enteritis under the small intestine section. However, chronic protein loss into the bowel and ill-thrift can develop with significant colon damage from parasites or toxins. The treatment for impactions will vary from analgesics and fluids/ laxatives in the field to intravenous fluids, feed withdrawal, laxatives, and analgesics in the hospital. Sand impactions require the addition of psyllium( a fiber source and laxative) to the treatment regime to help move sand out of the gastrointestinal tract. All other large colon crises, except motility changes and nephrosplenic entrapment, require surgical intervention to correct the problem.

      Document Excerpt: The Horse Interactive-- March 1999: Upfront( News and Notes). ESSENTIAL HORSE HOME. KNOWLEDGE BANK. Valley Foundation Gift To Help Veterinary School Remedy Deficiencies. University Of Pennsylvania To Identify Causes Of Abortion And Pregnancy Wastage In Study. Owners competing in American Horse Shows Assocation sanctioned events are subject to new medication rules and testing procedures beginning April 1, 1999. At the American Horse Shows Association's( AHSA) Veterinary and Drugs& Medications Forum held Jan. 7, 1999, discussion centered around the ongoing issue of use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs( NSAIDs). Specifically, the organization has been working on a way to prevent the concurrent use of multiple anti-inflammatory drugs in a competitor, a process known as" stacking. The rule change proposal concerning NSAIDs was presented and went through the process of acceptance in the organization over the intervening months. The new drug rules limit a horse to no more than two substances listed in the AHSA rules; regulate what the permitted levels of drug concentrations in blood plasma samples will be for testing; and stipulate that if anti-inflammatories are changed, a seven-day interval should be observed or the horse runs the risk of testing positive for more than two NSAIDs. Following are excerpts of prominent changes from the new AHSA regulations and explanations of the new regulations. Owners are encouraged to contact the AHSA for a complete set of rules and discuss these regulations and the use of medications with their attending veterinarians. a) The maximum permitted plasma concentration of phenylbutazone is 15.0 micrograms per milliliter. b) The maximum permitted plasma concentration of flunixin is 1.0 micrograms per milliliter. c) The maximum permitted plasma concentration of ketoprofen is 0.250 micrograms per milliliter. d) The maximum permitted plasma concentration of meclofenamic acid is 1.0 microgram per milliliter. e) The maximum permitted plasma concentration of naproxen is 40.0 micrograms per milliliter( Note: This equals 4g of naproxen orally no closer than 12 hours before showing. Note: Members of the AHSA Veterinary Committee noted that if anti-inflammatories are changed, a seven-day interval should be observed before switching NSAIDs. If this seven-day interval is not observed, there is a possibility of a horse testing positive for more than two NSAIDs. g) Phenylbutazone and flunixin are not permitted to be present in the same plasma or urine sample( Article 411 does not apply). h) Any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug not listed in( a) through( e) above is forbidden to be present in the plasma or urine sample( Article 411 does not apply); exception salicylic acid. i) In any instance in which more than one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug is administered, a medication report must be completed and filed in accordance with Article 411; exception: the time requirement of Article 411.1.i does not apply. One medication report setting forth a horse's/ pony's treatment program for an entire show or event, properly completed, suffices for the purpose of compliance with this requirement and must be filed with the Steward/ Technical Delegate prior to or within 24 hours of the first time a horse/ pony competes at the show or event and no later than one hour of the commencement of the final day of competition. AHSA rules permit the use of not more than two non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs at a time( from its list of five); impose quantitative restrictions on those permitted; and forbid the use of any other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. The AHSA stipulates that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are to be used only for therapeutic purposes. The drugs should be administered in accordance with AHSA guidelines, and no other NSAIDs are to be administered. In order to comply with this rule, in any instance a horse or pony has been administered a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in excess of two prior to competition, that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug must have been administered more than a week prior to competition. This advice, plus the dose and time guidelines below, will help achieve compliance with the rule as it pertains to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. It specifies that the dose for each drug should be accuratley calculated according to the actual weight of the individual horse in question. In the event the medication is administered orally, half of the maximum daily dose administered each 12 hours will result in a plasma concentration of phenylbutazone that does not exceed the maximum permitted by the rule, at any given time after administration. For a 1, 000 pound animal, the maximum daily dose is 500 milligrams, which equals two 250 milligram packets of granules, or one 500 milligram packet of granules, or 500 milligrams of the oral paste( available in 1, 500 milligram dose syringes), or 10.0 cc of the injectable( 50 milligrams per milliliter). Whenever more than one non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug is administered during the seven days prior to competing, a medication report form must be completed for each non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug setting forth a horse's/ pony's treatment program for an entire show or event. Whenever any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug in excess of two is administered, it should not be administered during the seven days prior to competing( Exception: dipyrone, a" masking substance," is not to be administered during the 24 hours prior to competing. Whenever any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug is administered to a horse or pony in a manner that might cause the plasma concentration to exceed the quantitative restrictions of the rule( in the case of those permitted to be used) or might cause the drug to be detected at any level in plasma or urine( in the case of those not permitted to be used), the trainer and owner should withdraw the horse or pony from competition, and the animal should be withheld from competition until the plasma concentration of any permitted drug returns to acceptable levels and/ or until any NSAID not permitted by the rules is no longer present in the blood or urine. Whenever dipyrone is administered to a horse or pony, the trainer and owner must comply with all of the requirements of Article 411. The new Drugs and Medications Rule Change Proposal came about due to the efforts of both the Veterinary and Drugs and Medications Committees. This committee prepared a summary with data gathered from drug testing from 1998 shows, which consisted of how many NSAIDs were found in the horse's blood or urine, age of the horse( for some entries), type of horse, and at which shows. This was valuable data, according to the committee, because the information showed how much of a problem NSAIDs were. 23, 1998, members of the Veterinary Committee and the Drugs and Medications Committee met and made their final revisions to the rule change proposal. 6, 1999, the Drugs and Medications Committee met and approved the documents concerning NSAIDs. Hofmann Memorial Equine Reasearch Fund, at the 1998 Annual Convention. The new Fund's objective is to" foster the humane treatment of the horse and fairness of competition, the Hofmann Research Fund is created to support evaluation of the potential of drugs and medications to affect the performance of a horse, and to evaluate potential side effects, and to foster ongoing research and development of new and/ or improved tests to detect and confirm the identity of drugs which could affect the performance of a horse." It was felt by members of the AHSA that there needs to be such a foundation to study the effects of drugs specifically on show horses. " The AHSA through the Hofmann Memorial Equine Research Fund( HMERF), shall develop a competitive research, grant-funding program which will address the objectives( mentioned above). The AHSA shall determine the area( s) of research to be supported and the level of support for each priority area of research. The Veterinary Committee agreed that the use of this drug needs to be addressed, but that it had taken a" back seat" due to the proposed NSAID rule change. Following the shooting of four horses in the Town of Whitechurch-Stouffville, Ontario, the Canadian Equestrian Federation will be administering the" Horse Reward Fund" in an effort to help identify and convict the guilty person( s). A$ 15, 000 reward has been posted by the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and it is hoped that the additional" Horse Reward Fund" will further encourage individuals who have information to come forward. The" Horse Reward Fund" will be given for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person( s) responsible for the shootings and will be apportioned as the Canadian Equestrian Federation sees fit. Monies will not be paid to any law enforcement agency or personnel and applies to information received by Jan. Information can be forwarded in confidence to the York Regional Police at 905/ 895-1221 ext. In the event that the" Horse Reward Fund" is not used as intended, all money will be donated to the Canadian Therapeutic Riding Association( CanTRA) in support of its riding for the disabled programs.

Valley Foundation Gift To Help Veterinary School Remedy Deficiencies. A$ 10.7-million gift from the Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation--the largest single cash gift in the campus's history--significantly will boost efforts to improve aging facilities at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine and to restore full accreditation to the nation's top-ranked vet school. " It endorses the unsurpassed quality and vitality of our veterinary medicine programs while addressing the inadequacy of the facilities in which those programs currently operate. Along with efforts we've already initiated--our capital campaign, building renovations, and a new building in our state capital budget--the foundation's gift helps us take several significant steps toward restored full accreditation. veterinary educational institutions, assigned the school limited accreditation status for two years, citing a need for modernized classrooms and laboratories and adequate classroom space. In all other categories-faculty, research, curriculum, clinical resources, library resources, students, admissions, continuing education, and organization, the school met or exceeded the accreditation standards. At the end of the two-year period, the school can regain full accreditation if sufficient progress has been made in correcting facilities deficiencies. In the meantime, the school remains accredited, with students qualifying for national certification and state li-censing examinations. The Valley family foundation's gift will support renovation and construction of instructional, research, and office space, including alterations to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital and an expansion of the Center for Companion Animal Health, as well as new classroom space for a growing body of veterinary students. The foundation has supported the school since 1989, contributing more than$ 386, 000 for horse-related research. " The Valley family has had a continuing interest in our programs and been good friends of the school over the years," said Bennie Osburn, Dean of the school of veterinary medicine. " We were very pleased that the foundation was able to respond so generously to our facilities challenges. The veterinary school last summer launched its 50th Anniversary Campaign, aimed at raising$ 50 million in private support for the school by the year 2002, with$ 17 million earmarked for initial construction and renovation projects. An education bond measure approved by voters last November will fund planning for a new veterinary medicine building, and limited campus deferred-maintenance funds will help address the most urgent vet school deficiencies over the next 18 months. The veterinary school's facilities problem is a holdover from California's recession of the early 1990s, the school noted. The University of California now is working to replace and restore buildings throughout its nine-campus system. The shootings, which left 34 horses dead and several wounded, have sparked immense interest by the public and a reward fund to find the perpetrators grew to$ 35, 000. Anthony Merlino, 20, was arrested Tuesday, January 12, for the slaughter of the horses. Darien Thomas Brock, 20, both Marines on leave from their bases in California were involved with the shootings. Brock is a rifleman at Camp Pendleton and Brendle is a computer technician based at Twentynine Palms. Merlino was jailed on$ 60, 000 bail after being charged with grand larceny and maiming, poisoning, or killing another person's animal. According to reports, Brock will fight extradition to Nevada., past president of the American Association of Equine Practitioners( AAEP), died Jan. General Wayne" Sage" Kester was the fifth president of the AAEP. In his 70 years of service to the equine industry, he pushed AAEP into active involvement in equine research and disease control; served as its Executive Director for 25 years; was the first recipient of the AAEP" Beyond the Call" Award; and continued to serve as mentor to the association until a week before his death. The International Collating Center in Newmarket, England, provided the following information on world-wide diseases reported to the Center:. Eleven cases of contagious equine metritis( CEM) were reported from Japan during the first six months of 1998. In September, CEM was diagnosed in a test mare which had been covered by a recently imported Dutch Warmblood stallion during the quarantine phase following importation to the United States. An equine viral arteritis( EVA)" shedding" Warmblood stallion was reported in the United Kingdom in October. Equine influenza was diagnosed widely in France based on serological examination. The paralytic form of equine herpesvirus( EHV-1) was reported from Tuscany in Italy on four premises involving 20 horses, four of which died. Salmonella typhimurium was isolated from horses on several premises in Ireland. Multiple outbreaks of strangles were reported in racing stables and farms in South Africa. The outbreaks were stated to have originated following the release of imported horses from quarantine in July. Strangles also was reported from Australia, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Vesicular stomatitis continued to be reported from the western United States. As of the first week of November, the USDA had reported 15 positive premises in Arizona, 101 in Colorado, 12 in New Mexico, and one in Texas. All reported premises except one in Colorado have involved equine cases. Excerpted from Equine Disease Quarterly, Funded by underwriters at Lloyd's, London, brokers and their Kentucky agents. Organizers of the Foxhall Cup have stepped up with the world's largest purse in the equestrian eventing discipline, offering$ 200, 000 in prize money. Recognizing that spectators, corporate sponsorship, and prize money are the main ingredients needed to bring eventing to the next level, Richards signed a 25-year contract with the American Horse Shows Association( AHSA), the sport's National Governing Body, to host a Three-Star Level, Three-Day Eventing Competition at his family farm, Foxhall farm, in Douglas County, Georgia.Designated as the National Championship of Eventing by the AHSA, the Foxhall Cup will take place each year one week after the Rolex Three-Day Event in Lexington, Ky. and foreign riders will compete in the Foxhall Cup, which will be the final domestic qualifying event for the U. Olympic team in preparation for the Sydney Olympic Games four months later. " The prospect of competing in Lexington, then traveling the short distance to Atlanta for the world's richest purse, will attract the world's top horses and riders," said Richards. Captain Mark Phillips, the respected English equestrian who is the chef d'equipe and Technical Advisor for the U. team, has been commissioned by Richards to be the Foxhall Cup's course designer for the first three years. The cross-country course has been designed in such a way as to allow spectators the opportunity of watching numerous jumps from a single vantage point. A 5, 000-seat arena will host dressage and show jumping along with offering the best viewing of the cross-country course's signature water jumps. Atlanta-based Shepherd Center, known internationally for its successful work with brain and spinal cord injuries, will be the beneficiary of the Foxhall Cup. Foxhall Farm currently is the site of Derby Day, the Shepherd Junior Committee's annual fundraising event. America's Barrel Racer has joined forces with Miller Freeman, Inc.

Department of Agriculture re-opened and extended the comment period for a proposed rule that would declare Qatar, a small country on the Persian Gulf, free of African horsesickness until Feb. The change in disease status would relieve restrictions on importation of horses into the United States from Qatar. Current APHIS( Animal and Plant Health Inspection Services) regulations require that horses being imported from regions considered to be affected with African horsesickness, a fatal equine viral disease, enter the United States only at the port of New York and be quarantined at the New York Animal Import Center in Newburgh, N.Y. The proposed rule would allow horses from Qatar to be shipped to and quarantined at ports other than New York and would reduce the quarantine period to an average of three days to meet APHIS quarantine and testing requirements. The action in the proposed rule is based on information received from Qatar's animal health authorities and is in accordance with standards set by the Office International des Epizooties for recognizing a country as free of African horse sickness. APHIS documents and related information, including the names of organizations and individuals who have commented on APHIS rules, are available on the Internet at the USDA's site. University Of Pennsylvania To Identify Causes Of Abortion And Pregnancy Wastage In Study. Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine received funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture for a three-year study to identify the causes of abortion and pregnancy wastage in horses in Pennsylvania. Patricia Sertich, VMD, assistant professor of reproduction at the School, is the chief investigator. Early in 1999, horse breeders in the state will be sent a survey to determine their preventative management of broodmares and to solicit their participation in this project. Veterinarians who provide reproductive care for these breeding farms will be solicited to participate in the project and receive information and materials to properly submit diagnostic specimens for determination of the cause of pregnancy loss in any aborting mares. Owners who are willing to complete a management survey and provide properly submitted specimens will receive a complete necropsy of any aborted fetuses. The Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture grant will underwrite the cost of necropsy and diagnostic tests. A large amount of money, time, and effort is invested in preparing mares for breeding, getting them bred, and maintaining them throughout pregnancy and delivery. The introduction of ultrasonography in the 1980s to examine early pregnancy in mares has permitted the development of methods to manage twins early in gestation before abortion or neonatal loss occurs. Little has changed over the last 15 years with regard to management recommendations of the late pregnant broodmare. Information obtained in this study will allow recommendations to be made on how to prevent these losses and may identify new areas of research in pregnancy loss. Interested veterinarians and horse breeders in Pennsylvania are encouraged to contact Dr. Patricia Sertich at New Bolton Center, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, 382 West St. Veterinary graduate student Tamara Widenhouse has received the Deedie Wrigley-Hancock Fellowship for Equine Colic Research at University of Florida's College of Veterinary Medicine. Widenhouse is the first recipient of the endowed fellowship initiated by Misdee Wrigley Milligan in memory of her mother, avid Arabian horse lover and breeder Deedie Wrigley-Hancock. " The college, and the horse-owning public, will benefit greatly from Misdee's generous support, and that of her family, through their creation of this fellowship," said Dr. Alfred Merritt, professor of large animal medicine and director of UF's Island Whirl Colic Research Laboratory. Widenhouse's research will be performed at the Island Whirl laboratory in conjunction with Merritt and her supervisor, Dr. " My studies will focus on the pathophysiology and treatment of infectious diarrheal disease in the horse," said Widenhouse, a 1993 UF graduate who also is a member of the veterinary college's Class of 1999. Major Public Relation s Agency Hired To Develop Five-Year" Grass Roots" Marketing Plan For HIA. BSMG, the public relations division of Bozell International, the agency that developed the successful" Milk Moustache" campaign, has been hired by the Horse Industry Alliance to develop a five-year marketing plan that has an objective of raising$ 15 million or more over the next three to five years. The purpose of the funding is to support a multi-part marketing and communications plan designed to increase awareness of and participation in equestrian sports. Bozell has considerable experience in major industry fund raising. Funding required for this start-up and plan development phase, plus the maintenance of on-going HIA operations during 1999, amounts to$ 300, 000. While HIA membership continues to grow, the organization can't generate these kinds of funds without major new sources of support. Vucijak found a savior in the International League for the Protection of Horses( ILPH) in Great Britain. While waiting on word from the LIF, the United States Lipizzan Registry( USLR) was faxed an article from the ILPH outlining the help they had given to the farm. This past summer, the ILPH volunteers and stud workers toiled to repair the fences in the fields and remove the cows and pigs of local farmers that were chained there. Outdoor exercise stalls were built so that individual horses could exercise in the fresh air. Interim repairs still need to be done to the existing structures at the stud, but small repairs will allow the horses to be housed for the winter. Another area that greatly im-pressed the USLR was that the ILPH was giving advice to the farm on how to be self-sustaining through the harvest of export crops such as snails and herbs for the European market. They must have done their job well, because at that point German businessman Dieter Von Wedelstedt of Saltzburg stepped in to buy 51% of the farm from the Bosnian government. Where does this leave the USLR in it's campaign? At their December meeting, the USLR board of directors voted to keep the money in trust until they could be assured the Vucijak stud farm is well on its way to becoming healthy and whole. The USLR will continue to build its Trust to benefit Lipizzans in the future. All donations will continue to be accepted into the USLR Lipizzan Trust and the USLR will continue selling out their supply of T-shirts. If you would like more information, or to make a donation, you may contact the USLR at United States Lipizzan Registry, Nancy Stockdale, USLR Manager, 707 13th Street SE, Suite 275, Salem, Ore. 97301; 503/ 589-3172; fax 503/ 362-6393; e-mail USLRoffice@ aol.com. One formerly VSV positive premises located in Larimer County was released from quarantine. Three VSV positive premises remain under quarantine in Colorado, all located in Larimer County. ACVP, Director of the Diagnostic Laboratory at the University of Arizona, some of the affected horses have been necropsied at the University of Arizona and tissue samples from additional affected horses have been tested there. Tissue samples from the affected horses also have been sent to the Univeristy of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center for further testing." To address the situation, the USDA has created an emergency response team that will include two pathologists, two epidemiologists, and a support person. The emergency response team will hold daily teleconferences with USDA officials in Washington, D.C. While the botulism hasn't been confirmed, Glock stressed that botulism is hard to detect in dead animals. Six veterinary students were named winners of the AAEP/ American Live Stock Insurance Company Scholarships during the 1998 AAEP Convention in December. Puchalski, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan. Amelia Rose Sheffield, Louisiana State University. Veterinary students are nominated by AAEP members with supporting documentation provided by clinical instructors. Criteria for selection includes scoring based upon: evaluation of the student's dedication to equine practice as revealed by previous equine experience; evaluation of applicant's essay explaining why they want to enter equine practice( including their ability to express themselves in writing); evaluation of letters of recommendation; estimation of leadership qualities; and evaluation of academic achievement( all candidates must be in the top 50% to qualify). This year marks the 10th anniversary of scholarship awards sponsored by the American Live Stock Insurance Company, who have joined AAEP in awarding more than$ 90, 000 in financial assistance to more than 60 veterinary students. The American Live Stock Insurance Company is a licensed insurance carrier in all 50 states and is based in Geneva, Ill. Coverages also are provided in other parts of the world with special emphasis on Australia. American Live Stock Insurance Company is primarily in the livestock mortality business and enjoys an A+( superior) rating from the AM Best Company. The United States Equestrian Team( USET) achieved record revenues of$ 6.8 million in 1998 and made record expenditures of$ 6.6 million for the preparation and training of equestrian athletes, finishing in the black by more than$ 200, 000. The USET also announced record contributions to both its National Endowment Campaign and its annual operating fund. The National Endowment Campaign, which seeks to raise$ 25 million to provide support for international competition and training programs, has reached nearly$ 9 million.

    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Colic Health Care Fact Sheet from the Equine Research Centre at Guelph- www.erc.on.ca. Additional health care fact sheets are available for your interest. There are many causes for such pain, ranging from the mild and inconsequential to the life-threatening or fatal. The horse's GIT is similar to that of most species but it has a number of specialised design features, some of which predispose it to colic. ( The small intestine looks like a very long sausage running along the bottom of a thin net curtain, with the top of the curtain all bunched together. Together, the caecum and large intestine form the horse's" fermentation chamber", allowing it to gain nutritional support from the complex carbohydrates contained in grasses and other forage. This arrangement entails the food making it round a number of 180 bends*( known as" flexures") in the intestine. Gas colics usually resolve fairly easily with appropriate treatment, although it is essential to ensure that there is no underlying reason for the problem. Spasmodic colic: Some cases of colic are due to increased intestinal contractions, the abnormal spasms causing the intestines to contract painfully. Displacement/ volvulus/ torsion( twisted gut"): In a" displacement", a portion of the intestine has moved to an abnormal position in the abdomen. The suspension of the small intestine from the mesentery( the" net curtain") and the unfixed nature of much of the large intestine predispose horses to intestinal displacements and torsions. Except in rare cases, these types of colic cause a total blockage of the intestine and require immediate surgery if the horse is to survive. Enteritis/ colitis: Some cases of abdominal pain are due to inflammation of the small( enteritis) or large( colitis) intestines. Gastric distension/ rupture: When a horse gorges itself on grain or, even more seriously, a substance which expands when dampened like dried beet pulp, the contents of the stomach can swell. The horse's small stomach and its inability to vomit mean that in these circumstances the stomach may burst. Symptomatic treatment, close monitoring and attention to any adverse developments usually lead to resolution of the problem. Violent behaviour usually equates with great pain which usually equates with a serious case of colic. If the signs of pain are less extreme, you can take a few minutes to observe the horse's appearance and behaviour before calling the veterinarian. Think about whether he has had access to any unusual feedstuffs in the past day or so, whether any medications have been administered, and whether there have been any changes in management. Horses which fall into high-risk categories, such as stabled horses in intense training and fit horses recently injured, should be monitored particularly closely. Author Janet Douglas earned her degree in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Cambridge, England. She continued her pursuit of excellence at the Equine Research Centre, Guelph, Ontario, where she focused on equine orthopaedics. The following information is taken from a study of a normal, healthy horse population in an effort to identify risk factors associated with colic. An understanding of risk factors can provide practical approaches to preventing colic. Nathaniel White II professor of surgery at Marion DuPont Scott Equine Medical Center in Virginia, profiles 1, 443 horse from farms in Virginia and Maryland which had populations of 20 or more horses. After monitoring the farms for a full year, 100 factors were analyzed to see if a pattern could be identified. The possible risk factors examined were based on the farm's history, the age, sex and breed of the horse, its use, feeding, parasite burden, the weather, management routines and daily events. Our exclusive publications are highly recommended for further reading.

  • Can You Prevent Colic? - http://www.eqgroup.com/Library/colic2.htm
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: CAN YOU PREVENT COLIC?. As common as colic is, it remains misconstrued and lacks singular explanation. Thousands of dollars have been invested in colic studies, yet it is still an offender of even the healthiest horses. The American Association of Equine Practitioners classifies colic in horses into three groups; intestinal dysfunctions, intestinal accidents and enteritis or ulcerations( please see side bar). There are a myriad of causes, but most colics fall under these three groups; Intestinal Dysfunction- This is the most common category and simply means the horse's bowels are not working properly. Intestinal Accidents- These occur less frequently and include displacements, torsions and hernias, whereby sections of the intestine become trapped or pinched in body cavities. Enteritis or Ulcerations- These are colics related to inflammations, infections and lesions within the digestive tract. They can be caused by numerous factors including stress, disease, salmonellosis and parasites. Colic appears to be preceded by many complicated factors, and moreover is a major cause of disease and death. There are many signs of colic including repeatedly lying down and getting up or attempting to do so, rolling, sitting in a dog-like position or lying on the back. This unique study went beyond the laboratory and into private practices throughout Texas to determine whether or not management factors influence the onset of colic. " Studies at veterinary hospitals represent only a small, selected subset of the general equine population," Dr." Researchers wanted to identify factors related to medical history, husbandry and health management that might induce the chance of colic in a horse. They evaluated a variety of situations including logistics of farm environment, stabling conditions, feed management, health and dental care, and recent transport or change in diet and activity. Eighty-two veterinarians provided data from 821 horses with colic for specific management factors for a 15 month period. They were then asked to record the same data for a non-colic case( such as a laceration or lameness treatment) that immediately followed the call to the colic case. The latter data was used as a" control" to the colic results to obviate any seasonal bias in choosing the comparison population. Horses that had a change in stabling conditions two weeks prior to the time of examination have a higher probability of colicking also. We are seeking funding for these studies that will provide specific, practical suggestions for horse owners. Though not found to be associated with colic, sound management factors such as deworming, dentistry and vaccination should always be integrated by every horse owner. " We believe that preventive medicine is essential for decreasing the burden of disease in horses," Dr. " Good, consistent management has important health and economic consequences. For more information on colic, please contact the American Association of Equine Practitioners for a brochure on understanding colic, the digestive tract and its function, at; AAEP 4075 Iron Works Pike Lexington, KY 40511( 606) 233-0147.

    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: EQUERRY.COM- News- Obituaries( Human and Equine). Equerry Exclusive Interviews. Associations/ Registries. His most notable offspring were Esprit FRH, Easy Jumper, and the licensed stallion Espri who was the 1995 Hanoverian Stallion of the Year and is the sire of E.T. Ten weeks following a surgery that was intended to prolong and sustain the quality of life for the 19-year old Holsteiner stallion, Hilltop Farm lost their founding sire Cabaret on October 28, 1999. An arthrocentesis was performed on the right front fetlock of the stallion in order to" fuse" the fetlock and create relief for a failing suspensory apparatus. The surgery went smoothly, but post-operative complications proved to be devastating for the grand stallion who so many well remember from his years in dressage competition under rider/ trainer Scott Hassler. We grew up together, learned together, experienced life together. From the first ride on his back to the last, he gave an incomparable honesty, everyday enthusiasm, 100% heart and soul and a tremendous love for life." Cabaret was indeed the stallion that created the loving bond between the Hasslers and Jane MacElree, owner of Hilltop Farm in Colora, Maryland. But Cabaret will be most fondly remembered by those who loved him for" his humble pride, impeccable manners, and huge heart so clearly expressed through his eyes and actions." Cabaret( Cor de la Bryere-Landgraf-Consul) produced three approved sons in the US and one that stands in Germany, several premium mares and champion offspring across the country. His influence as a breeding stallion extends across North America, to France, to Germany and Australia. On October 5th, the Elite Hanoverian stallion Gonzo I was humanely euthanized due to" complications due to poor health. The British Horse Trials Association( BHTA) announced today the tragic news that Mrs. Polly Phillips was fatally injured in a fall at this year's championships in Berwickshire. The equestrian community is reeling from the sudden loss of one of its greatest members. Reiner Klimke passed away in his sleep on the morning of August 17th. Reiner Klimke was one of our most successful equestrians. He competed in six Olympic Games, winning 8 medals in team and individual competition. The 13 year old Westphalian gelding had apparently suffered from intestinal ailments for a long time. Amaretto was hoped to have succeeded Gigolo, Worth's winning Olympic and World Equestrian Games partner. He had become somewhat less visible in recent years with the incredible success of van Grunsven and her other mount Gestion Bonfire. His sudden death is a significant loss for the horse world, as he held wide influence and many friends both in North America and in Europe. van der Veen markedly influenced modern warmblood horse breeding, and specifically the very successful development of the Dutch horse. His lifetime involvement with horses began at his father's farm in northern Holland. He worked for the KWPN starting in 1980, quickly becoming the Head Inspector and remaining so until his death. In addition, he taught at several United States Dressage Federation( USDF) Sport Horse Seminars and was involved early on with the Dressage Breed Judges program here in the U.S. Equerry and Equerry.com and logos are Service/ Trademarks of Timon, Inc.

  • Equine Colic - http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Meadows/8037/colic.html
    
    • Abstract:
      Document Excerpt: Equine Colic: its Causes, Variations, Remedies, and Preventive Measures. ** A note- please remember that I am not a veterinarian( although I wish I was.), and I may be wrong or not completely correct in some spots. [ Types of Colic][ Indications that a horse has colic][ Colic and the myenteric plexuses][ Remedies for Colic][ Causes and Preventative Measures for Colic][ Summation]. Equine colic is a sometimes serious condition, and can be defined as" any crisis which causes abdominal discomfort in a horse" A more scientific definition, however, is" a spasm of any soft or hard hollow organ, such as the abdomen, that is accompanied by pain". The general term‘ colic is also given to any dysfunction of the digestive system of the horse, including twisting, swelling, infection, or lesions. In such cases, the horse's chronic colic may never be fully alleviated, or understood as to its cause, but there are a number of preventative measures one can take( to be discussed at a later time). The American Association of Equine Practitioners( AAEP) has classified colic into three specific groups- intestinal dysfunctions, intestinal accidents, and enteritis or ulcerations. Intestinal dysfunctions are the most common and mean simply that the horse's bowels are not functioning properly. Intestinal accidents occur less frequently and include displacements, torsions and hernias- which occurs when sections of the intestine become trapped or pinched in body cavities. Enteritis or ulcerations are types of colic related to inflammation, infections, and lesions within the digestive tract. Excessive sweating, pawing, rolling, looking at their belly, lying down at unusual times, and tail wringing usually associated with the stamping of the hind feet( particularly if there are no flies) are all signposts that your horse has some form of abdominal pain. Other symptoms also include repeated yawning or grinding of their teeth, refusal to eat( still apparent from the first sign), a depressed attitude, a change in the appearance or consistency of manure( watery, too solid, etc. Normally, you should hear 2 or 3 gurgles( which signify that food is moving through the digestive system properly) every minute, and a loud growl every 1 to 3 minutes. The horse may also engage in lying down and getting up frequently, nipping at their flanks, stretching more often then usual, pacing, and difficulty with breathing. There are other less common causes as well, including kidney disease, liver disease, tying up( a muscle condition characterized by cramping and acute pain), or ovarian pain, in which a mare may exhibit colic symptoms 3 to 5 days into her heat cycle. Delving into the more scientific side of colic, there was a study done to determine if" deficiencies in the myenteric plexuses of horses might be associated with the incidence of colic." The myenteric plexuses can be defined as" one of the two plexuses[ network of nerves or of blood or lymphatic vessels] in the wall of the alimentary canal." The researchers measured the myenteric plexus density, longitudinal muscle thickness, and neuron[ a nerve cell, the structural and functional unit of the nervous system] density, for both normal horses and those with" acute obstruction and chronic obstruction". The researchers found that although in acute obstruction( cases which have occurred for less then 24 hours) those factors were the same as in normal horses, chronic cases( greater than 24 hours) had a lower neuron density in the pelvic flexure. Horses with strangulating large colon torsion/ volvulus had significantly less myenteric plexus density in certain areas of the colon except the left ventral. Horses that survived despite the strangulation had greater neuron density than those that died. The longitudinal muscle thickness was greater in the pelvic flexure of horses with acute and chronic obstructions than normal horses. Also, they should be prepared to give the horse's temperature, color of mucous membranes and capillary refill time, behavioral signs( kicking, pawing, etc.), digestive noises, bowel movements, any recent changes in the horse's life, and his breeding history. The vet will attempt to pass a nasogastric tube through the nose, esophagus, and then to the stomach so as to relieve pressure on the stomach and small intestine. Since some causes of colic include such things as an environmental or feeding change, they should be minimized much as possible. Another preventative measure is to include regular parasite control, or deworming into horse's lives. If good management policies are followed as they should be in the first place, horses should not develop problems with colic. However, if they do come down with it, today's modern technology( including a hand held computer utilized by veterinarians for which can quickly tell him or her plans of action for that particular case) is on the side of the horse. | The Instruments I play| Who the heck is this person anyway?| My Horseless Horselover's Penpal Club| My tribute to my late parakeet and cat- Jerry and Ariel| My adopted cyber kitty| My Chatroom| My Pets| A Few Good Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet| My Rat and rats in general| My Horse Page| Horse Trivia| Equine Colic.
