Plasma total antioxidant status in horses after 8-hours of road transportation

Abstract: BackgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the effects of 8-hour road transport on plasma total antioxidant status (PTAS) and general clinical appearance in horses.FindingsThe study was conducted on a group of 60 horses of different breeds aged from 4 to 10 years. Venous blood was collected and a clinical examination was performed immediately before loading horses onto trailers for an 8 hour transport (I), immediately after unloading them from the trailer (II), and after a subsequent 24 hour stall rest… Show more

“…Factors that influence antioxidant status include, above all, environmental factors, diet and the use of the animals [6,7,32]. An increase in oxidative stress may be associated with long-term transport [33] or contamination of the environment with heavy metals and fertilizers [34]. The oxidant/antioxidant equilibrium in horses may also be dependent on breed and gender [35].…”

“…In horses, a 12 hour journey was able to induce a significant increase in plasma MDA concentrations compared to baseline values (Onmaz et al, 2011). In the same species, an 8-hour journey by road transport increased the average plasma total antioxidant status soon after unloading (Niedźwiedź et al, 2013). Supplementation of diet with antioxidants prior to transporting may reduce significantly the effect of OS during transportation in goat (Adenkola et al, 2011).…”

“…Houve diferença significativa (p<0,0001) em relação à frequência respiratória (15 segundos) dos equinos em função das baias de alojamento (Tabela 2), sendo que os maiores valores foram verificados nos animais presentes nas baias de metal. Os equinos quando expostos a condições de conforto térmico apresentam a frequência respiratória (FR) variando de 8 a 16 mov min -1 (PALUDO et al 2002, NIEDŹWIEDŹ et al 2013.…”
