AI Article Synopsis
- The manuscript serves as a guide for practitioners on measuring and controlling hoof temperature after shoeing in horses.
- The study involved 16 horses divided into two groups, one shod with egg bar shoes and the other with wedge pads, with hoof temperature assessed through thermography before and a month after shoeing.
- Results indicated that shoeing with egg bar shoes led to lowered temperatures in the palmar view, while wedge pads also decreased temperatures in both dorsal and palmar views, suggesting minor negative effects on circulation and metabolism in the horse's legs due to shoeing.
Article Abstract
The presented manuscript provides reference for practitioners when measuring normal hoof temperature, as well as controlling the temperature after shoeing with particular shoes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of horse shoeing with egg bar shoes and shoes with wedge pads on hoof temperature measured by thermography. This was a prospective study conducted on 16 horses. The horses were divided into two groups: horses from group 1 were shod with egg bar shoes, while horses from group 2 were shod with shoes with wedge pads. Thermographic examination was performed below the metacarpophalangeal joint before and one month after shoeing. After shoeing with egg bar shoes, there was a decrease in the median of the minimal temperature in the palmar view. After shoeing with wedge pads, thermography revealed decreased hoof temperature in the dorsal and palmar views. Horse shoes may have a negative impact on the blood circulation and metabolism within the distal part of the limb; however, our study found this only to a minor extent.

The rising prevalence of dysphagia among the aging population presents significant challenges in developing specialized diets that combine soft textures with high nutritional value. This study investigates the formulation of cod protein composite gels (CPCGs) using egg white based microgels-high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs, 5-25 %). The CPCGs were prepared via high-pressure homogenization at 400 bar for 10 min.

Immature oocytes enclosed in primordial follicles stored in female ovaries are under constant threat of DNA damage induced by endogenous and exogenous factors. Checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) is a key mediator of the DNA damage response (DDR) in all cells. Genetic studies have shown that CHEK2 and its downstream targets, p53, and TAp63, regulate primordial follicle elimination in response to DNA damage.

There is a paucity of scientific data on the effect of shoeing on equine neck and back kinematics during locomotion over commonly used sand training surfaces. A better appreciation of how alterations at hoof-ground interface influence equine upper body movements is relevant for improving horse's health and performance. Our objectives were to determine the effects of different shoeing conditions on equine neck and back kinematics at walk and trot in straight line over sand.
