“…A familial predisposition to the condition has been detected (McLean 1973) and it appears to occur more commonly in young horses during the early stages of training. Brennan (1959), Steel (1969) and Yamaoka et a1 (1978) have all noted that exertional myopathy occurs more frequently in fillies than in colts or geldings, suggesting the possible involvement of steroid hormones in the susceptibility of individual animals. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of daily training schedules and stage of the oestrous cycle on serum muscle enzyme levels in Thoroughbred fillies and colts undergoing training for flat racing.…”

Summary Blood samples were collected twice weekly over a nine month period from 24 Thoroughbred racehorses in training at Newmarket to study the effects of daily training schedules and stage of oestrous cycle on serum enzyme levels and clinical signs of equine exertional myopathy. The sampling period extended from November to July and was performed between 16.00 h and 18.00 h so as to be at least 6 h after exercise. Serum creatine kinase, aspartate aminotransferase and plasma progestogen concentrations were measured. All horses were subjected to a similar traditional training programme. The study demonstrated marked fluctuations in serum muscle enzyme concentrations which were more pronounced in two‐year‐old fillies than three‐year‐old fillies and colts. There was no correlation, however, with the stage of oestrous cycle. It was concluded that some degree of muscle cell damage, which results in a variable increase in serum creatine kinase levels, occurs in all horses following light exercise after a rest day. Traditional flat race training may not be ideal in this respect and it is suggested that, for horses with an observed tendency towards exertional myopathy, more consistent and longer periods of less strenuous exercise may be advantageous.

“…However, a more likely scenario is that differences in excretion rates in sheep and cattle due to differences in drug formulation (Steel 1993; aI1993) result in higher peak concentrations of ivermectin in sheep dung than in cattle dung.…”

“…It is most important to diferentiate equine paralytic myoglobinuria from the many other conditions which cause disturbances of gait in racing horses. These include arthritis, neuritis, spondylitis, verminous arteritis and simple muscle soreness (Steel 1969).…”
