Steam explosion was found to be the most effective preparation method for donkey bone powder, compared with non-treatment, autoclave and steam processing. And the effect of steam-exploded donkey bone powder (SEDBP) on the quality characteristics of whole wheat cookies was evaluated. Compared with untreated powder, particle size of SEDBP was reduced by 55.60 %, while oil- and water-holding capacity, water solubility and ABTS radical-scavenging rate significantly increased by 13.94 %, 26.86 %, 298.26 % and 91.47 %, respectively. Steam explosion enhanced protein digestibility from 32.17 % to 71.43 %, increased the Ca release rate from 37.47 % to 47.82 %, and increased the release of 11 amino acids during digestion. SEDBP reduced the solvent retention capacity of flour blends and improved the color, hardness and spread ratio of whole wheat cookies. Cookies with 30 % SEDBP addition had better flavor, texture and scored the highest on overall acceptability. The results will help expand animal bone applications and develop nutrition-fortified foods.

Animal scavenging on human remains presents a major challenge at a forensic scene. These lasting changes can influence the interpretation of a post-mortem interval, the overall state of the remains and any associated evidence, impacting the integrity of the scene. Therefore, identifying taphonomic related changes due to animal scavenging is important to understand the post-deposition sequence of events.

The use of proper sedative and regional anesthetic protocols is essential when performing equine dental surgical procedures under standing sedation. The efficacy of the rostral inferior alveolar nerve block via the mental foramen has not been previously studied. Aims of this study included determining the efficacy of the block, investigating whether any region (labial mucosa, alveolar mucosa, or teeth) was more reliably anesthetized, and if differences in efficacy existed between bilateral and unilateral blocks.

A sixteen-year-old Friesian mare was admitted to the university clinic with the following clinical signs: anorexia, weight loss, fever, bilateral nasal discharge, unilateral facial paralysis and a non-healing corneal lesion. Endoscopic examination of the upper airways showed thickening of the proximal portion of the right stylohyoid bone. Computed tomography imaging showed pneumocephalus due to grade 3 unilateral temporohyoid osteoarthropathy (THO) with fracture of the petrous temporal bone.

Background: Musculoskeletal injuries and chronic degenerative diseases pose significant challenges in equine health, impacting performance and overall well-being. Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a glycoprotein determining the bioavailability of sex hormones in the bloodstream, and exerting critical metabolic functions, thus impacting the homeostasis of many tissues including the bone.
Methods: In this study, we investigated the potential role of SHBG in promoting osteogenesis and its underlying mechanisms in a model of equine adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs).

Biofilms reduce antibiotic efficacy and lead to complications and mortality in human and equine patients with orthopedic infections. Equine bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) kill planktonic bacteria and prevent biofilm formation, but their ability to disrupt established orthopedic biofilms is unknown. Our objective was to evaluate the ability of MSC to reduce established S.
