Effects of Horse Housing System on Energy Balance during Post-Exercise Recovery

Simple Summary: Horse management aims to keep horses healthy and ensure good performance and animal welfare. Many horses are currently kept in individual box stalls indoors, a housing system that limits free movement, exploration, and social interaction, and may also subject horses to lower air quality. The alternative is a free-range housing system where horses are kept in groups outdoors. Anecdotal information indicates concerns among sports horse trainers that lack of rest in such systems delays recovery and impairs performance. This study examined whether recovery after competition-like exercise in Standardbred trotters was affected by housing system. The results showed that a free-range housing system did not delay recovery in Standardbred trotters, and in fact had positive effects on appetite and recovery of energy balance.Abstract: This study examined the effects of two housing systems (free-range and box stalls) on recovery of energy balance after competition-like exercise in Standardbred horses. Eight adult geldings (mean age 11 years) were used. The study had a change-over design, with the box stall (BOX) and free-range group housing (FreeR) treatments each run for 21 days. The horses were fed forage ad libitum and performed two similar race-like exercise tests (ET), on day 7 and day 14 in each treatment. Forage intake was recorded during the last 6-7 days in each period. Blood samples were collected before, during, and until 44 h after ET. Voluntary forage intake (measured in groups with four horses in each group) was higher in FreeR horses than BOX horses (FreeR: 48, BOX: 39, standard error of the mean (SEM) 1.7 kg (p = 0.003)). Plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) was lower at 20-44 h of recovery than before in FreeR horses (p = 0.022), but not in BOX horses. Housing did not affect exercise heart rate, plasma lactate, plasma urea, or total plasma protein concentration. Thus the free-range housing system hastened recovery in Standardbred trotters, contradicting anecdotal claims that it delays recovery. The free-range housing also had positive effects on appetite and recovery of energy balance

Manso – Aghjale

Le site de l’Aghjale intéresse le versant nord de la vallée du Fangu et, plus précisément, la partie haute du hameau de Mansu. Placé à proximité d’un petit cours d’eau affluent du Fangu, le ruisseau de Capu Rossu, il est sur un léger adoucissement d’un terrain pentu dominé par la Punta a u Corbu (1 123 m). C’est assurément un endroit propice à l’établissement humain. L’analyse archéologique a concerné environ 5 m2. Plusieurs US ont pu être identifiées. La zone archéologique semble avoir eu l’..

Manso – Grotte dell’Inferno

Ce sondage a permis d’éliminer la grotte dell’Inferno comme lieu d’origine de l’Ours trouvé en Corse par F. Major en 1906. Pour conforter l’hypothèse d’une supercherie scientifique dont aurait été victime l’inventeur, il faudrait s’assurer qu’il n’y a pas d’autre « grotte de l’ours » en Filosorma, ce qui nécessite de nouvelles prospections au-dessus de 1 000 m d’altitude. Plutôt que de lancer cette lourde opération dès à présent, il semble préférable d’attendre un examen biochimique des pièce..

Experimental investigation of phase equilibria in the ZrCu-Al system at 500º C

Weight is of a fundamental importance in the performance of aircraft. Finding new materials for the structural elements of an aircraft that are lighter while giving the performance needed is crucial. Al alloys are commonly utilized materials because of their relatively low density and good mechanical properties. This is why the Zr-Cu-Al ternary system has been chosen in this study. There is no agreement on the shape of the isothermal phase diagram of this system. This study has the goal of adding some light on this matter, by finding yet another result that can help us understand better this system. In this study the isothermal section of the Zr-Cu-Al system at 500 ºC is experimentally determined
