Developing best practice guidelines on equine colic (2015)
Journal Article
Freeman, S., & Curtis, L. (in press). Developing best practice guidelines on equine colic. Veterinary Record, 176(2), https://doi.org/10.1136/vr.g7688

Sarah Freeman and Laila Curtis describe an ongoing project that is aiming to develop evidence-based, best practice guidelines to help owners and veterinary surgeons recognise the signs of colic in horses. They also report on the first of two multidis... Read More about Developing best practice guidelines on equine colic.

Prospective survey of veterinary practitioners’ primary assessment of equine colic: clinical features, diagnoses, and treatment of 120 cases of large colon impaction (2014)
Journal Article
Jennings, K., Curtis, L., Burford, J., & Freeman, S. (2014). Prospective survey of veterinary practitioners’ primary assessment of equine colic: clinical features, diagnoses, and treatment of 120 cases of large colon impaction. BMC Veterinary Research, 10(Suppl), Article S2. https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-6148-10-S1-S2

Background

Large colon impactions are a common cause of colic in the horse. There are no scientific reports on the clinical presentation, diagnostic tests and treatments used in first opinion practice for large colon impaction cases. The aim of th...

Evaluation of normal findings using a detailed and focused technique for transcutaneous abdominal ultrasonography in the horse (2014)
Journal Article
Williams, S., Cooper, J. D., & Freeman, S. (2014). Evaluation of normal findings using a detailed and focused technique for transcutaneous abdominal ultrasonography in the horse. BMC Veterinary Research, 10(Suppl), Article S5. https://doi.org/10.1186/1746-6148-10-S1-S5

Background

Ultrasonography is an important diagnostic tool in the investigation of abdominal disease in the horse. Several factors may affect the ability to image different structures within the abdomen. The aim of the study was to describe the re... Read More about Evaluation of normal findings using a detailed and focused technique for transcutaneous abdominal ultrasonography in the horse.

Water intake, faecal output and intestinal motility in horses moved from pasture to a stabled management regime with controlled exercise (2014)
Journal Article
Williams, S., Horner, J., Orton, E., Green, M. J., McMullen, S., Mobasheri, A., & Freeman, S. (2014). Water intake, faecal output and intestinal motility in horses moved from pasture to a stabled management regime with controlled exercise. Equine Veterinary Journal, 47(1), https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.12238

Reasons for performing study: A change in management from pasture to stabling is a risk factor for equine colic.

Objectives: To investigate the effect of a management change from pasture with no controlled exercise to stabling with light exercise... Read More about Water intake, faecal output and intestinal motility in horses moved from pasture to a stabled management regime with controlled exercise.

Incidence, causes and outcomes of lameness cases in a working military horse population: a field study (2013)
Journal Article

Reasons for performing study: Lameness is a common problem in the horse. Despite this, information on the incidence of lameness in horses in the UK is restricted to studies of lameness in performance horses, racehorses or referral hospital population...

In mammals, after coitus a small number of spermatozoa enter the uterine tube and following attachment to uterine tube epithelium are arrested in a non-capacitated state until peri-ovulatory signalling induces their detachment. Whilst awaiting releas... Read More about Storage and release of spermatozoa from the pre-uterine tube reservoir.
