Abstract Background: Early-life locomotor activity during turn out may alter susceptibility to musculoskeletal disease and injury via modulation of behaviors and tissue development during growth. Objectives: Investigate associations between turn o...

Gestation Length is Associated With Early-Life Limb Deformities in Thoroughbred Foals (2023)
Journal Article

Flexural and angular limb deformities (LD) are an important cause of early-life morbidity and mortality/euthanasia in Thoroughbred foals. The majority are congenital in origin but, to date, their precise aetiology is poorly understood. We hypothesize...

Background: Up-to-date estimates of early-life morbidity and mortality in Thoroughbreds are lacking. Methods: A birth cohort was established on Thoroughbred stud farms across the United Kingdom and Ireland. All veterinary interventions for disease...
