11. Vanligaste diagnoserna hos svenska travhästar
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Equine StudiesSammanfattning : Due to a successful breeding process the fastest trotters will within 50 years run at the speed of 1.09 from volt start. Harness racing is a popular sport and a big industry in Sweden with 850 different racing events and 903 million SEK in purse money annually. Consequently, owners and trainers of racehorses want to see their protegees race. LÄS MER
12. Can eye-temperature variation from exercise explain behaviour profiles among trotting horses?
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsSammanfattning : Eye-temperature measured with infrared thermography have in previous studies showed significant correlation to competition results in harness racing. Studies also show a positive correlation between serotonin level in blood and eye-temperature which indicates that this method could serve as an indicator of stress and welfare in harness racing.

13. Effekt av relativ ålder på travhästars tävlingsprestation
Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Anatomy, Physiology and BiochemistrySammanfattning : Harness racing in Sweden has evolved since the 18th century when it began as racing to the church or at frozen lakes. Since then Sweden has become one of the world's foremost harness racing nations with a world-class breeding. LÄS MER
14. Is a potential regulatory region in the vicinity of EDN3 linked to the performance in Standardbred horses?
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsSammanfattning : Standardbred horses (SBs) are used in harness racing. Their common breeding history with Coldblooded trotters (CBTs) led us to the hypothesis, that the same region associated with race performance in CBTs, may be linked to the performance of SBs as well. EDN3 SNP (g.22:45748491C>T), was found to be associated (p. LÄS MER
15. The role of Myostatin polymorphisms in the Finnhorse and Shetland pony breeds
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Animal Breeding and GeneticsSammanfattning : Myostatin, encoded by the MSTN gene, is a member of the transforming growth factor β that normally acts to limit skeletal muscle mass by regulating both the number and growth of muscle fibers. Natural mutations that decrease the amounts of myostatin and/or inhibit its function have been identified in several cattle, sheep and dog breeds, where loss-of-function mutations cause increased skeletal muscle mass and produce a phenotype known as “double-muscling”.
