A genetic mutation in horses has been identified that should help identify horses that are at risk for squamous cell carcinoma of the eye and enable horse owners to make informed breeding decisions.img src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/horses/~4/6lrINVo8ZRE height=1 width=1 alt=/...
On the 12th of May 2017, a stallion named VICSI was born in Belgium. The foal was named after two crucial techniques that have been used to achieve this: vitrification and ICSI.img src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/horses/~4/bFTgmFQEzO4 height=1 width=1 alt=/...
A new study unveils the secrets of horse breeding by Iron Age Scythian nomads. The genomes reconstructed from 14 archaeological horses also provide important insights into the process of animal domestication, supporting changes in the neural crest development pathway as key to the emergence of common domestic traits and revealing major changes in breeding practice during the last 2,300 years.img src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/horses/~4/A9z-b8m9jcE height=1 width=1...
Although studies suggest that inhaling certain scents may reduce stress in humans, aromatherapy is relatively unexplored in veterinary medicine. But new research raises the question of whether aromatherapy may be beneficial to horses as well.img src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/horses/~4/7_dh3g3qd1o height=1 width=1 alt=/...
A new study challenges the tenet that herpes viruses, like most enveloped viruses, are relatively unstable outside their host. Under a variety of conditions equine herpesvirus remained stable and infectious over a three week period. This suggests that untreated water could be a source of infection by some herpesviruses.img src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/horses/~4/qfA2wfafVnc height=1 width=1 alt=/...
According to new research, nomadic horse culture -- famously associated with Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes -- can trace its roots back more than 3,000 years in the eastern Eurasian Steppes, in the territory of modern Mongolia.img src=http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/sciencedaily/plants_animals/horses/~4/uMOumL-QvLI height=1 width=1 alt=/...
