Body condition scoring and weight estimation of horses.
C. L. Carroll,P. J. Huntington +1 more
TL;DR: Thoroughbred horses were found to be significantly lighter than non-racing Thoroughbreds of the same height and condition score and the method of assessment of condition score was shown to be repeatable between different operators with varying degrees of experience.

Evaluation of genetic and metabolic predispositions and nutritional risk factors for pasture-associated laminitis in ponies
Kibby H. Treiber,D. S. Kronfeld,Tanja M. Hess,Bridgett M. Byrd,Rebecca K. Splan,W. Burton Staniar +5 more
TL;DR: Prelaminitic metabolic syndrome in apparently healthy ponies is comparable to metabolic syndromes in humans and is the first such set of risk factors to be supported by data in equids.

Equine Metabolic Syndrome
Nicholas Frank,Nicholas Frank,Raymond J. Geor,Simon R. Bailey,A. E. Durham,Philip J. Johnson +5 more
TL;DR: It is now more clearly understood that EMS is related to abnormal glucose metabolism and insulin resistance, rather than the previously held belief that these symptoms were consistent with hypothyroid activity which developed as a horse ages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Apparent adiposity assessed by standardised scoring systems and morphometric measurements in horses and ponies
TL;DR: Cresty neck score was useful in the assessment of neck crest adiposity and had physiological relevance, as demonstrated by associations with blood variables, and girth:height was the most suitable morphometric for assessment of overall adiposity.

Obesity and diet affect glucose dynamics and insulin sensitivity in Thoroughbred geldings.
TL;DR: The minimal model effectively estimated Sg, Si, acute insulin response to glucose, and disposition index in horses, and effects of diet were likely confounded by body condition, but horses had lower Si when fed SS compared with FF, especially when nonobese.

Nutrition and the postpartum interval of the ewe, sow and cow.
T. G. Dunn,C. C. Kaltenbach +1 more
TL;DR: The effects of nutrition on the length of the postpartum interval (PPI) were reviewed for the ewe, sow and cow, finding that in mature Merino ewes, neither lactation nor undernutrition during lactation affects the duration of the PPI while both factors increase the duration in coarse-wool breeds.
Pubertal adipose tissue: is it necessary for normal sexual maturation? Evidence from the rat and human female.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that a particular ratio of fat to lean mass is normally necessary for puberty and the maintenance of female reproductive ability in the human and rat.

Sources of variation in reproductive performance in selected herds of beef cattle in north‐eastern australia
TL;DR: It was found that improved nutrition of lactating heifers and cows would be expected to increase pregnancy rates substantially, and that cows in poor body condition had lower fertility than those in forward-store or fat condition.
