La copertura immunitaria nella specie equina.
No full textVengono prese in esame le principali cause di predisposizione alla FPT (trasferimento dell'immunità passiva) dalla fattrice al puledro con monitoraggio dei valori ematici delle diverse classi di immunoglobuline nel siero materno nelle ultime settimane di gravidanza, dei valori delle stesse nel colostro e del livello ematico nei puledri a 18-24 ore dall'assunzione colostrale.Sono inoltre valutati altri possibili interventi in caso di gravi carenze immunitarie

Passive immunity transfer forecast in different horse breed
No full textFirst trial was carried out on 11 thoroughbred mares. A correlation was noted between mare serum at delivery and 24 h colostrum IgG levels. Mare serum IgA collected one week before foaling were correlated with 24 h colostrum IgA. Significant correlation was found between foals serum IgGb amount at 0 h and IgGb mare serum content collected one week before foaling. IgG foal serum amounts collected one week after birth and IgG mare serum 2 weeks before foaling were also correlated. We noted correlation between gammaglobulins at delivery and 24h colostral IgGb. In the second trial 12 crossbred mares were examined. Total proteins (TP) mean level showed a good correlation with IgG concentration. Mare serum and mare colostrum IgG weren’t correlated. Serum IgG(T) were correlated with IgG and highest values were observed at foaling as in the previous trial. Significant correlation was also observed between IgG and IgM. Foal serum IgG(T) were correlated with IgG and both showed highest values at 18 hours. Correlation was found between foal serum IgG contents at 6 and 18 hours and colostrum IgG levels at delivery. Foal serum á1-globulins level significantly increased between 3 and 48 hours from birth; the same was noted for globulins between 3 and 24 hours. Albumin/Globulins ratio decreased, during the first 24 hours, from 2.5/1 at birth until about 1/1 at 18-24 hours
Termalismo e fisioterapia per il cavallo atleta
No full textAim of the work belongs to the experimental evaluation of the effects of physiotherapy by the use of swimming pool on sporting horses from different breeding, involved in different racing and jumping competitions. Positivity of therapeutical intervention was measured on the basis of quality of horses performances, related to their category, before and after the effect of pool physiotherapy. 81 horses were observed during a period of 3 years. 29 were thoroughbred, 20 standardbred, 20 jumping thoroughbred and crossbred performing hurdle, steeple-chase and cross-country races, 12 horse-riding italian saddle and irish hunter. 68.2% total observed horses (80% horse-riding) using pool physiotherapy performed good results and subjects came back to the same level competitions. Most frequent pathologies exibited by the observed animals were tendinous or muscular inflammations (50%). 50% total horses were 4-5 years old; only 2.3% were under 3 years old, confirming low technical use of swimming pool in training young horses. Efficacy of therapeutic treatment was confirmed by the short medium attendance period at the centre. 43.2% medium length period was less than 2 months and 25% was longer than 2 months. Males and geldings were predominant than females
Mare milk EFA composition and effects in human nutrition
No full textMare’s milk seem to contain alpha-linolenic (ALA) and linoleic (LA) acids amounts respectively precursors of ω-3 and ω-6, higher than in cow’s milk. Most infant formulae contain only the precursor essential fatty acids (EFA), alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid, from which formula- fed infants must respectively synthesize their own docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and arachidonic acid (AA). The purpose of our studies concerns the evaluation of mare’s milk quality, since some our current researches seem indicate interesting EFA amounts and variability connected with breed and with administered feedstuff.
Mare milk samples from 22 Haflinger multiparous mares were collected during the first 105 days of lactation, in order to evaluate the fatty acids content’s variation, saturated/unsaturated ratio and, particularly, linoleic/alpha-linolenic ratio. Collection time was 30,60,90,105 days. Linoleic acid amount was 10.89%, as average, on total fatty acids, in 30 days samples, with a significant (p<0.05) decrease until the end of the observation period (8.54%). Alpha-linolenic significantly increased (p<0.05) until 105 days milk samples from 5.56% and 6.66% on total FA. EPA and DHA were present only as traces. Linoleic/alpha-linolenic ratio was about 2:1 in 30 days samples and pointed out a progressive decrease, with an increasing alpha-linolenic acid amounts during lactation. Saturated/unsaturated ratio was favorable to the first ones as a ratio between 1.2:1 and 1.3:1
