Individual Indentification and Parentage Verification of Thoroughbred Horses and the Korean Native Horses Based on Microsatellite Loci in Korea

The Comparative Analysis of the Allele Pool of Thoroughbred Horses in Different Countries

The aim of the present study was the conducting of comparative analysis of allele pool of Ukrainian population of Thoroughbred horses and the populations from England, USA, Russia and South Korea using microsatellite loci of DNA on the basis of our own researches and literary sources. Comparative analysis of allele pool of Thoroughbred populations from different countries was conducted using 6 ...

Population study and validation of paternity testing for Thoroughbred horses by 15 microsatellite loci.

Microsatellite 15 TKY System was characterized for parentage verification of horse registry. The Microsatellite 15 TKY System was constructed by using 15 microsatellites, TKY279, TKY287, TKY294, TKY297, TKY301, TKY312, TKY321, TKY325, TKY333, TKY337, TKY341, TKY343, TKY344, TKY374, and TKY394, to provide stringent PCR-based microsatellite typing specifically optimized for multicolor fluorescenc...

Frequency of Limb Injuries Between Thoroughbred and Arabian Horses

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between race horse breed and the frequency of limb injuries through the time of training and racing. The study population consisted of 4042 Thoroughbred and 2553 Arabian horses raced at Warsaw race Track, from 2000 to 2008. Among these horses, 94 Thoroughbreds and 32 Arabians had different limb injuries. Based on the achieved results, it is possi...

Sero-surveillance of Getah Virus among Thoroughbred Horses in Korea

Getah virus (GETV), which is transmitted by mosquitoes, causes lower limb edema and stiffness in horses. In this study, we investigated the sero-surveillance of GETV among Thoroughbred racehorses in Korea during 2013 and 2014. A total of 1,182 equine serum samples collected from Thoroughbred racehorses in four provinces (Gyeongnam, Gyeonggi, Jeonbuk and Jeju provinces) were analyzed using virus...
