Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Equines play different roles within human society, providing companionship, transport, and competing in sports. Their well-being is strongly related to their selected role and how they are perceived within their relationship with humans. Good quality of life for horses relies upon evaluation of the state of suffering, and the interpretation of signs related to the specific context. In accordance with ethical principles and specific laws, veterinarians should consider themselves responsible for developing further knowledge of equine medicine, applying better approaches for diagnosis and treatment, and rejecting ineffective treatments.
Prediction of injury in horses remains a challenge and approaches rely on a limited number of compounds, which indicate when overtraining and potential damage has occurred. All studies thus far have focused on diagnostic procedures, prognostic aspects and appropriated therapeutic protocols of diseases, employing specific indicators or pertinent biomarkers. Providing diagnostic technologies knowledge could provide renewed insights about health, disease, drug toxicity, or therapy efficacy in horses diseases.
This Special Issue aims to present selected contributions regarding the progression of knowledge in equine medicine, including welfare, ethics, law and management. Original research articles, case studies, and reviews will be considered. Potential topics could involve—but are not limited to—equine medicine, infectious diseases, therapeutics, equine welfare, ethics, and law.
We look forward to receiving your submissions.
