The effect of stress fracture occurring within the first 12 months of training on subsequent race performance in Thoroughbreds in Hong Kong. (2020)
Journal Article
Johnston, A. S., Sidhu, A. B. S., Riggs, C. M., Verheyen, K. L. P., & Rosanowski, S. M. (2020). The effect of stress fracture occurring within the first 12 months of training on subsequent race performance in Thoroughbreds in Hong Kong. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13324

BACKGROUND Racehorses are at an increased risk of stress fracture within the first 12 months of racing and when resuming training after a break. Research in these high-risk periods and on the effect of performance post-recovery is limited. OBJE...

Factors associated with euthanasia in horses and ponies enrolled in a laminitis cohort study in Great Britain (2019)
Journal Article
Pollard, D., Wylie, C. E., Newton, J. R., & Verheyen, K. L. P. (2019). Factors associated with euthanasia in horses and ponies enrolled in a laminitis cohort study in Great Britain. Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 174, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2019.104833

Euthanasia is a complex topic, with animal owners using multiple factors to shape their decision-making process. Previous epidemiological studies have described causes of equine mortality in specific populations, but there is limited evidence regardi...

Serological surveillance reveals patterns of exposure to H5 and H7 influenza A viruses in European poultry (2019)
Journal Article
Hillman, A. E., Smith, R. P., Batey, N., Verheyen, K. L. P., Pittman, M., Brown, I. H., & Breed, A. C. (2019). Serological surveillance reveals patterns of exposure to H5 and H7 influenza A viruses in European poultry. Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, https://doi.org/10.1111/tbed.13371

Influenza A viruses of H5 and H7 subtype in poultry can circulate subclinically, and subsequently mutate from low to high pathogenicity with potentially devastating economic and welfare consequences. European Union Member States undertake surveillanc... Read More about Serological surveillance reveals patterns of exposure to H5 and H7 influenza A viruses in European poultry.

Multivariable analysis to determine risk factors associated with early pregnancy loss in thoroughbred broodmares (2019)
Journal Article
De Mestre, A. M., Rose, V. B., Chang, Y. M., Wathes, D. C., & Verheyen, K. L. P. (2019). Multivariable analysis to determine risk factors associated with early pregnancy loss in thoroughbred broodmares. Theriogenology, 124, 18-23. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.theriogenology.2018.10.008

Early pregnancy loss (EPL) between days 15–65 after breeding has been shown to occur in 7.9% of equine pregnancies with substantial economical, welfare and safety implications. Whilst maternal age has been recognised as an important risk factor in re...

Journal Article
Rose, B. V., Firth, M. J., Morris, B., Roach, J. M., Wathes, D. C., Verheyen, K. L. P., & De Mestre, A. M. (2017). Descriptive study of current therapeutic practices, clinical reproductive findings and incidence of pregnancy loss in intensively managed thoroughbred mares. Animal Reproduction Science, 188, 74-84. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2017.11.011

Therapeutic practices in equine reproductive medicine have dramatically evolved over the last 20 years but current usage is not described. The aims of this study were to provide a description of medication use and clinical findings of reproductive ex...
