“…In our study, at least 61% of horses had entered training by the end of 4 years of age which is considerably higher. This is likely reflective of advances in veterinary science 14 (e.g., improved diagnostic and treatment modalities, as well as greater focus on preventive medicine) along with increased investment in breeding and training facilities 3 and changes in management practices in the racing industry 15 since the 1970s. Although the current estimate of horses entering training by 3 years of age (47%) seems lower that that reported by Wilsher et al 12 (55%), that study was based on a convenience sample of 1022 foals, followed from birth (1999) to 3 years and used questionnaires completed by the owners to estimate losses 12 .…”

“…A more recent study analysed the outcomes of 399 foals over 3 seasons, originating from one farm in the UK, estimating that 95% entered training (the authors assumed that all horses which were named entered training), of which 64.5% raced at least once 13 . As a result of advances in veterinary science, 14 increased investment in breeding and training facilities 3 and the evolution of management practices in the breeding and racing industries 15 in the past decades, one might expect a higher proportion of Thoroughbreds bred for racing to enter training and appear on the racecourse than reported in these previous studies. Therefore, the objectives of the present study were 1) to describe the proportion of the 2014 and 2015 UK and IRE foal crops that entered training, raced and were imported and/or exported between birth and the end of their third year of life and 2) to provide descriptive statistics on racing performance (proportion of horses that ran, won and were placed, and prize money earned) of these 2014 and 2015 UK and IRE foal crops as 2‐ and 3‐year‐olds.…”

Background: Up-to-date figures on early losses of Thoroughbreds from the racing industry can inform strategies to improve retention and incentivise traceability of Thoroughbreds during this early life period. Methods: Data on Thoroughbred mares bred in 2013-2014 and training, racing and sales information of their live offspring were analysed. The proportions and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of the entire 2014-2015 United Kingdom and Ireland foal crops that entered training, raced, were imported and/or exported between birth and the end of their third year of life, as well as the racing performance of these horses as 2-and 3-year-olds were described. Results: A total of 20,661 mares produced 28,282 live foals. Of them, 47.2% (95% CI: 46.7-47.8; n = 13,354) entered training by the end of their third year of life. Of these, 10,595 (79.3%; 95% CI: 78.7-80.0) raced at least once. Around 20% (n = 5712) of horses were exported by the end of their third year of life, of which 3526 (61.7%) had been in training. The overall mortality during the study period was 7.6% (n = 2123). Conclusion:A considerable proportion of Thoroughbreds had not entered training by 3 years of age but of those that had, the proportion that raced at least once was high. Further research is needed to establish reasons for premature losses from the industry.

“…The review by Silver et al . (2011) confirms that EVJ has proved to be a valuable platform for the establishment of critical equine science . A total of some 340 articles, (as original articles, reviews, commissioned articles, clinical studies, case reports and evidence‐based veterinary medicine) are used to justify this.…”

Animal tuberculosis is of global concern because of its economic and zoonotic importance. Bibliometric analysis is an important methodology used to analyze articles and other publications in literature. In this study, we performed quantitative studies on animal tuberculosis for the last two decades by March 2024. The data were retrieved from the Web of Science (WOS) database. Statistical data were set for each studied item using the VOSviewer software, with a focus on the top ten results for each item. A total of 11,155 documents were finally included in the evaluation. Results revealed that author Vordermeier H.M. had the highest number of published papers (151, 1.35%), and the publications in 2021 (693, 6.21%) were at the forefront. The United States Department of Health and Human Services was the top funding agency (1093, 9.79%), and the USA was the top nation in publications (3137, 28.12%). The most publications were in English (10898, 97.69%) and the highest publications in WOS categories were collected from Veterinary Sciences (2588, 23.2%). Research articles were the most abundant form (9271, 83.11%). Citation meso indicated that tuberculosis and leprosy (6628, 59.4%) were the top and Elsevier was the main publisher (2577, 23.1%). The results of this bibliometric analysis indicate a growing number of studies on tuberculosis in animals, which reflects the re-emergence of the disease to an alarming degree. The results can help to establish the possible forthcoming plans for its prevention and control.
