Overview

Equine medicine is the branch of veterinary science focused on the health, disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of horses and related equids. Research published in Veterinary Healthcare on this topic addresses both infectious disease surveillance and nutritional management in equine populations. Published work has examined serological evidence of influenza A virus infection in South American camelids, contributing to understanding of cross-species viral transmission patterns that may affect equine health in shared environments. Additional research has investigated the relationship between pasture management and body condition in recreational horses through longitudinal monitoring of grazing patterns and body condition scores in pony club populations. This work provides practical insights into how pasture quality and availability influence equine health outcomes in community settings. The topic matters because horses serve critical roles in agriculture, sport, recreation, and therapy worldwide, making their health management essential for animal welfare, economic sustainability, and public health. Understanding disease transmission patterns and nutritional factors helps veterinarians and horse owners implement evidence-based preventive care strategies that maintain equine health across diverse management systems and geographic regions.
