Three sequential studies were performed to evaluate the effects of tying horses while wearing overchecks (strap from the bridle to backpad). In an observational study, horses (n = 305) wore high (HC), low (LC), or no overchecks (NC) with frequencies of 29.2%, 51.8% and 19.0% respectively. Study 1 (Latin square, n = 6) consisted of a 90-min tie test (90TT) with treatments (HC, LC, NC) x periods (1-3). Horses wearing HC had higher plasma cortisol (P < 0.01) when compared to LC and NC. Muscle soreness (MSS) and tightness (MTS) were evaluated pre and 24 hr post 90TT and were higher (P < 0.01) 24 hrs after 90TT regardless of treatment. In study 2, in order to determine if acclimation to tying with overchecks could reduce the cortisol response in study 1, horses (n = 6) were tied 60 minutes/day for 2 weeks followed by a 60-min TT (60TT). Neither plasma cortisol nor heart rate were elevated above baseline levels, suggesting adaptation to novel stressors. Tying with restrictive HC appears to be a stressor, which may be reduced if an adaptation period is provided.

过度检查对驾驶马的压力参数和福利影响的影响。

进行了三个顺序的研究,以评估穿着过多检查(从马笼头到背板的绑带)时绑马的效果。在一项观察性研究中,马(n = 305)穿高(HC),低(LC)或没有超额检查(NC)的频率分别为29.2%,51.8%和19.0%。研究1(拉丁方,n = 6)由90分钟的领带测试(90TT)和治疗(HC,LC,NC)x周期(1-3)组成。与LC和NC相比,戴着HC的马的血浆皮质醇更高(P <0.01)。在90TT之前和之后24小时评估肌肉酸痛(MSS)和紧密度(MTS),无论治疗如何,均在90TT后24小时更高(P <0.01)。在研究2中,为了确定适应过度检查是否会降低研究1中的皮质醇反应,将马(n = 6)每天捆绑60分钟,持续2周,然后进行60分钟的TT(60TT)。血浆皮质醇和心率均未升高至基线水平以上,表明适应新的应激源。与限制性HC捆绑似乎是一个压力源,如果提供了适应期,可能会减少。
