- W2125339105 abstract "A horse’s maximal mature body size is genetically predetermined, but growth rate can be influenced by a number of factors including environment, nutrition, and management. Optimal growth rate results in a desirable body size at a specific age with the least amount of developmental problems. Managing growth in horses becomes a balance between producing a desirable individual for a particular purpose without creating skeletal problems that will reduce a horse’s subsequent athletic ability. Growing a foal too slowly results in the risk of it being too small at a particular age or never obtaining maximal mature body size. Growing a foal too quickly results in the risk of developmental orthopedic disease (DOD) manifestations such as physitis, angular limb deformities, and osteochondritis dissecans (OCD).There is no single growth rate that is desirable for all types of horses. Therefore, horses should be managed differently for varying growth rates. Horses will generally reach physical maturity at around four to five years of age. Compared to Thoroughbreds, many breeds such as warmbloods are not expected to compete until later in life, so there is little incentive for rapid growth. Instead, a slow, steady growth rate that will allow the horse to reach maximal mature body size with the fewest problems is desirable. Thoroughbred racehorses are a different story since they are expected to be competitive athletes at two years of age. Therefore, mature body size is not the most important end point that Thoroughbred breeders wish to achieve. In fact, there can be several important developmental milestones that must be reached even before a young Thoroughbred enters its first race. Most Thoroughbreds are sold either as weanlings or yearlings at commercial auctions throughout the year. The size of the foal at auction can greatly impact its selling price, so there is strong incentive to market large weanlings and yearlings. At the Keeneland September sales, yearlings that were heavier and taller, but not fatter (measured by body condition score), sold for higher prices (Pagan et al., 2005). Just as important as size, however, is the foal’s skeletal soundness at the time of the sale. A delicate balancing act exists between accelerated growth and skeletal soundness.A horse undergoes rapid development in weight, height, and bone mineral content (BMC) within its first year of life. Within 30 minutes of birth, a foal can stand, and" @default.
