Article Synopsis
- Stallion mules often require surgical castration to control aggression caused by testosterone, but a GnRH vaccine may offer a non-surgical alternative for immunocastration.
- The study involved 25 mules grouped into Control-intact, Control-castrated, and Treatment groups, with the Treatment group receiving the GnRH vaccine and showing changes in hormone levels and antibody concentrations.
- Results indicated that the vaccine effectively lowered testosterone levels for up to 14 weeks, with some minor adverse effects noted, such as swelling at the injection site.
Objective: To study the effect of unilateral synovitis in the distal intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints on locomotion, including the compensating effects within and between limbs.
Animals: 4 clinically normal horses.
Procedure: Gait analyses including kinematics, force plate, and inverse dynamic analysis were performed at the trot before lameness, after which synovitis was induced by injecting endotoxin into the right distal intertarsal and tarsometatarsal joints.
