Temporal Trends in Equine Sperm Motility and Semen Volume: A Retrospective Analysis from a Single UK Breeding Facility (2024)
Journal Article
Harris, I. T., Nankervis, K., Pyatt, A., Gardner, D. S., Humphreys, P., & Blanchard, R. N. (2024). Temporal Trends in Equine Sperm Motility and Semen Volume: A Retrospective Analysis from a Single UK Breeding Facility. International Journal of Equine Science, 3(2), 100-106

The equine industry preferentially selects sires based on pedigree, performance, and conformation, with little concern given to fertility. Increasing evidence supports the theory of geographic-sensitive declines in a range of semen quality parameters...

Scoping review exploring the evidence base on Vitis vinifera toxicity in dogs after ingestion: Clinical effects, treatments and types of V. vinifera (2024)
Journal Article
Downs, J., Zoltowska, A., Hackney, T., Gardner, D. S., Ashmore, A., & Brennan, M. L. (2024). Scoping review exploring the evidence base on Vitis vinifera toxicity in dogs after ingestion: Clinical effects, treatments and types of V. vinifera. Veterinary Record, 195(7), Article e4536. https://doi.org/10.1002/vetr.4536

Background
Treatment of Vitis vinifera fruit (VVF) ingestion can be challenging due to no clear toxic dose, signalment factors and variable clinical signs. Current treatment guidance is generalised: decontamination, aggressive fluid therapy, monitor...

Cardiovascular Fitness and Stride Acceleration in Race-Pace Workouts for the Prediction of Performance in Thoroughbreds (2024)
Journal Article
Schrurs, C., Dubois, G., Van Erck-Westergren, E., & Gardner, D. S. (2024). Cardiovascular Fitness and Stride Acceleration in Race-Pace Workouts for the Prediction of Performance in Thoroughbreds. Animals, 14(9), Article 1342. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani14091342

In-training racehorse physiological data can be leveraged to further explore race-day performance prediction. To date, no large retrospective, observational study has analysed whether in-training speed and heart rate recovery can predict racehorse su...
