Morphometric changes in the hoof capsule of Criollo foals from birth to weaning

Abstract: South America has numerous Criollo horse breeding farms; however, information on foal hoof growth is still limited and identifying the ideal periods to apply corrective trimming is a frequent concern for horse owners. In the present study, a morphometric analysis of hoof growth was performed on 46 Criollo foals from birth to weaning (0-8 months

“…Após o nascimento, inicia-se um período de quatro meses de crescimento intenso do casco (Souza et al, 2017), sendo possível observar um anel ou linha de crescimento que circunda toda a muralha. Tal linha demarca o desenvolvimento de um casco definitivo, que substituirá o casco fetal (casco desenvolvido em ambiente intrauterino) (Curtis et al, 2014).…”

“…Em torno de 65 dias de gestação, os cascos do feto equino já podem ser observados radiograficamente no útero da mãe (Curtis, 2017). Após o nascimento, inicia-se um período de quatro meses de crescimento intenso do casco (Souza et al, 2017), sendo possível observar um anel ou linha de crescimento que circunda toda a muralha, demarcando o desenvolvimento de um casco definitivo, o qual substituirá o casco fetal (Curtis et al, 2014).…”

“…Together with support from muscles, tendons, and ligaments that support tensile forces acting across the joints and maintain functional limb alignment, the foal can very quickly maintain upright posture. Over the following weeks and months of a foal’s life, the shape and size of the hoof capsule and its relationship with the internal hoof structures is modified as the mature morphology is established [ 21 , 22 ]. The keratinized hoof capsule continues to grow in a proximodistal direction throughout life in accordance with internal and external forces.…”
