Motor laterality, such as left or right-handedness, is a well-known asymmetric phenomenon in both humans and animals, incl. horses. Concurrently, lameness caused by orthopaedic injury is a common cause for asymmetry. In our study of riding horses in training, 73 % had motion asymmetries, warranting the question whether this asymmetry was caused by natural laterality or pain-induced lameness? Subsequently, two studies have been initiated to follow young riding horses and trotters possible gait alterations over time. Upon recruitment of the first 50 untrained young horses, 70 % showed motion asymmetries. As young horses may suffer from developmental disorders causing lameness, we still don´t know if these asymmetries are congenital or caused by lameness. We are missing important knowledge about foals. Therefore, we suggest a unique study to compare motion pattern and the relation between motion asymmetries and laterality in foals, young horses in training and high performing horses.
Lateralitet, höger- och vänsterhänthet, är ett välkänt asymmetriskt fenomen hos både människor och djur, inkl. häst. Samtidigt är hälta orsakad av ortopedisk skada en vanlig orsak till rörelseasymmetri. I vår studie av ridhästar i träning hade 73% ett asymmetriskt rörelsemönster vilket väckte frågan om asymmetrin var orsakad av en naturlig lateralitet eller smärtutlöst hälta? Därför har det initierats två studier där unga rid- och travhästar följs över tid för att se när asymmetrier utvecklas. Vid rekryteringen av de första 50 unga hästarna visade det sig även här att 70% rörde sig asymmetriskt. Då det förekommer utvecklingsrubbningar som ger upphov till hälta vet vi fortfarande inte om dessa asymmetrier kan vara medfödda eller är orsakade av smärta. Det saknas en mycket viktig pusselbit, om föl kan födas med asymmetrier? Vi föreslår därför en unik studie som undersöker kopplingen mellan rörelseasymmetrier och lateralitet hos föl, unga hästar i träning samt högpresterande vuxna hästar.

During the last decade, neonatal porcine diarrhoea (NPD) has become an increased problem in Swedish herds. Clostridium (C.) perfringens type A (CpA) and C. difficile (Cd) have been highlighted as causes of NPD but their importance has also been questioned. We have previously demonstrated that CpA …

Many horses in training show motion asymmetries, but it is not known if these are due to pain caused by training; or due to individual biological variations. The aim of this project is to initiate three cohort studies where changes in motion symmetry will be monitored over time in riding horses and …

Regional studies indicate that udder cleft dermatitis (UCD) and hock lesions (HL) are common among Swedish dairy cows and that the prelavence varies between herds. The severity of the lesions varies but it is likely that the lesions cause pain and discomfort for the cows. It is also possible that …

Laminitis, an extremely painful disease of the equine foot, is most commonly caused by elevated insulin
concentrations in blood (hyperinsulinemia). Therefore, strategies to reduce hyperinsulinemia in horses are warranted.
Studies in obese children with insulin dysregulation and hyperinsulinemia …

HYPOTHESIS:
Cows with higher breeding value for forage intake capacity (FIC) are more profitable in terms of milk income minus feed cost than those with lower such FIC value. The hypothesis will be tested both in experimental research and demonstrated in commercial herds.
Dairy cows consume large …
