   Author : Anna Kallings Larsson; [2024]
   Keywords : orthopaedic health; objective gait assessment; conformation; linear profiling; movement asymmetry; artificial intelligence; computer vision; Swedish Warmblood;

   Abstract : To improve equine performance and welfare, many attempts have been made to investigate associations between performance, longevity, orthopaedic health, conformation and talent. Causal relationships between these qualities supported by strong scientific evidence are lacking. READ MORE

3. 2. Motion asymmetry and body fat in Swedish riding school horses : is there a connection?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry

   Author : Emma Wärnsberg; [2020]
   Keywords : horse; equine; motion asymmetry; BCS; body fat; riding school; lameness;

   Abstract : In Sweden, there are about 18 000 riding school horses and in 2018 almost five million riding hours took place in Swedish riding schools. A recent study found that overweight is common in riding school horses, 28 % had a BCS ≥ 7. It has been reported that the prevalence of overweight and obesity in the equine population has increased worldwide. READ MORE

4. 3. Using inertial sensors for assessing movement symmetries in trotting dogs : a feasibility study

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Anders Stenman; [2019]
   Keywords : lameness; assessment; inertial sensors; dogs; trot;

   Abstract : Lameness or other disturbances in the musculoskeletal system are common reasons why dog owners seek veterinary care.

   Abstract : Rektaliseringsmodellen Breed’n Betsy är tänkt att användas som ett komplement till undervisningen med levande djur i anatomi- och reproduktionskurserna på veterinärprogrammet vid Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet (SLU). Modellen består av en metallram där bäcken och konstgjorda honliga reproduktionsorgan från nöt eller häst kan monteras för att efterlikna olika sexualcyklus- och dräktighetsstadier. READ MORE

6. 5. Scintigraphy of the Equine Pelvis : detectability of equine pelvic lesions: a phantom study

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biomedical Sciences and Veterinary Public Health

   Author : Suwicha Chuthatep; [2004]
   Keywords : equine pelvis; phantom; soft tissue attenuation; detectability;

   Abstract : Equine skeletal scintigraphy can be used in the diagnosis of pelvic injuries but thick overlying soft tissue is a factor that may decrease the detectability of lesions in this area. The purposes of this study were to examine the effects of soft tissue attenuation on the detectability of lesions and to evaluate the improvement of detectability by using computerized post processing of images.
