Assessment of horse owners’ ability to recognise equine laminitis: A cross-sectional study of 93 veterinary diagnosed cases in Great Britain (2017)
Journal Article
Pollard, D., Wylie, C. E., Verheyen, K. L. P., & Newton, J. R. (2017). Assessment of horse owners’ ability to recognise equine laminitis: A cross-sectional study of 93 veterinary diagnosed cases in Great Britain. Equine Veterinary Journal, 49(6), 759–766. https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12704

The primary objective was to establish whether cases of owner‐suspected laminitis would be confirmed as laminitis by the attending veterinary surgeon. Secondary objectives were to compare owner‐ and veterinary‐reported information from veterinary‐con...

Risk factors for race-day fatality, distal limb fracture and epistaxis in Thoroughbreds racing on all-weather surfaces in Great Britain (2000 to 2013) (2017)
Journal Article
Rosanowski, S. M., Chang, Y. M., Stirk, A. J., & Verheyen, K. L. P. (2017). Risk factors for race-day fatality, distal limb fracture and epistaxis in Thoroughbreds racing on all-weather surfaces in Great Britain (2000 to 2013). Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 148, 58-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2017.10.003

The incidence of race-day injuries in Great Britain (GB) is higher on all-weather (AW) surfaces than on turf. However, to date no studies have focused on identifying risk factors for injury specific to AW racing. Therefore, the objective of the curre...

A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies (2016)
Journal Article
Rose, B. V., Cabrera-Sharp, V., Firth, M. J., Barrelet, F. E., Bate, S., Cameron, I. J., …De Mestre, A. M. (2016). A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies. Placenta, 38, 107-111. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.placenta.2015.12.014

Early pregnancy loss occurs in 6–10% of equine pregnancies making it the main cause of reproductive wastage. Despite this, reasons for the losses are known in only 16% of cases. Lack of viable conceptus material has inhibited investigations of many p... Read More about A method for isolating and culturing placental cells from failed early equine pregnancies.

Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds
Journal Article
Jackson, B. F., Dyson, P. K., Lonnell, C., Verheyen, K. L. P., Pfeiffer, D. U., & Price, J. S. Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds. Equine Veterinary Journal, 41(4), 410-413. https://doi.org/10.2746/042516409x416206

The aim of this study was to determine whether bone biomarkers (osteocalcin, PICP, ICTP and CTX-I) could be used to identify 2- and 3-year-olds at increased risk of fracture in the subsequent flat racing season. It was concluded that these bone bioma... Read More about Bone biomarkers and risk of fracture in two- and three-year-old Thoroughbreds.
