Article Synopsis
- - Horses transformed human mobility, but the timeline of their domestication and integration as transport is debated, with new genetic data being used to clarify this history.
- - Analysis of 475 ancient horse genomes indicates that modern domestic horses were shaped by human intervention around 2200 BCE, after a domestication bottleneck began around 2700 BCE, leading to a significant expansion across Eurasia.
- - Evidence also suggests that there was early horse husbandry in central Asia at Botai around 3500 BCE, prior to the establishment of contemporary horse bloodlines, challenging the notion of large herds being linked to migrations around 3000 BCE.
Article Synopsis
- The Maghreb region is crucial for studying how cattle genetics evolved after their domestication in the Fertile Crescent over 10,000 years ago.
- Researchers analyzed DNA from four Iron Age domestic cattle specimens in Althiburos, Tunisia, revealing two maternal lineages: R haplogroups and the more common African-T1 haplogroups.
- The findings suggest that there was hybridization between domesticated cattle and local aurochs, but there's also a possibility of independent domestication events occurring in North Africa.
Background: The determination of iCa and iMg is important in veterinary medicine, but their immediate determination in whole blood is not always possible. Their stability in other sample types and the existence of interferences must be evaluated before its use.
Objectives: We aimed to analyze the effects of storage time on the stability of iCa, iMg, and other analytes in whole blood, plasma, and serum samples in horses and assess the interference of heparin in these measurements.
Magnesium disorders in horses with gastrointestinal disorders or systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) are scarcely characterized. The purpose of the study was to explore the association of magnesium disorders with diagnosis, SIRS and mortality in horses admitted to a referral equine hospital. In total, 75 sick horses were included in an observational prospective study and classified as: obstructive ( = 17), inflammatory ( = 10) and ischemic gastrointestinal disorders ( = 12), and other non-gastrointestinal systemic disorders ( = 36).

Animals Studied: Fourteen client-owned horses.
Procedures: In a two-phase design study, each animal received 1% CH ophthalmic solution in the left eye [treated] and 0.
