| titers to leptospira species in horses in alberta. | sera from horses in alberta, submitted to agriculture and agri-food canada for routine testing for equine infectious anemia from january 1987 to june 1989, were tested for antibody against 13 serovars of pathogenic leptospira spp., using the microscopic agglutination test. the purpose of the study was to investigate the prevalence of serum titers to those serovars in horses in alberta, and to analyze the associated risk factors. descriptive statistics were compiled and logistic regressions were ... | 1994 | 7994706 |
| the vitamin a and vitamin e status of horses raised in alberta and saskatchewan. | the purpose of the study was to determine normal baseline levels of vitamin a and vitamin e in clinically normal horses under typical field conditions in saskatchewan and alberta. heparinized blood samples were collected from approximately 400 clinically healthy horses selected from 24 locations in alberta and saskatchewan during a two-year period. for each horse, historical information including feed type, vitamin supplementation, time of year, sex, and age were recorded. from each blood sample ... | 1994 | 8050076 |
| nervous system injuries in horseback-riding accidents. | a review of 156 horseback-riding accidents that occurred in southern alberta over a 6-year period and resulted in nervous system trauma, including 11 deaths, is presented. the majority (81%) of accidents occurred during recreational activity and 81% were associated with falling or being thrown from a horse. head injury occurred in 92% of patients and accounted for all of the 11 deaths. spinal injury occurred in 13% of the patients and was associated with head injury in 40%. one peripheral nerve ... | 1993 | 8459460 |
