Description
Breeding of sport horses requires products with qualities for performance traits. The objectives of this study were to investigate the relation between radiographical examination and descendant of sires. Foots, fetlocks of both thoracic and pelvic limbs, carpus, tarsus and stifles were examined radiographically in 225 3-year old horses descent from 25 stallions. Data were analysed by multivariate analysis. Results indicate that descendant of a stallion presents the same abnormal radiographic findings. It is concluded that bone diseases are of great importance in breeding sport horses and that these abnormalities could have a genetic component
Abstract (French)
Une evaluation de la part hereditaire dans l'etio-pathogenie des affections osteo-articulaires juveniles a ete faite a partir de cliches radiographiques obtenus sur 225 poulains de 3 ans, affilies par le pere, sur les pieds et les boulets, les carpes, les jarrets et les grassets. Les donnees ont ete traitees par des methodes d'analyse multifactorielle. Les resultats indiquent que certaines descendances presentent des anomalies repetees sur des sites particuliers. Les differences trouvees dans la progeniture des etalons etudies invitent a orienter la selection vers les etalons dont les premiers produits presentent peu d'images radiographiques anormales, afin de proceder, connaissant les points faibles des etalons et des juments, a des accouplements raisonnesAdditional details
