摘要: Summary Reasons for performing study: Strongyle worm burdens are assumed to subclinically affect equine performance. This assumption appears be particularly pronounced in the racing industry. Hypothesis: Race results of Standardbred trotters negatively affected by high strongyle faecal egg count levels. Methods: Faecal samples were obtained from 213 trotters, aged ≥2 years, and stabled at training facilities 21 professional trainers with license racecourses Denmark. counts generated using a McMaster technique. recorded as finishing position horse (position 1–3 vs. lower) winning purse. The effect on performance was assessed regression analyses. Results: ranged 0–3500 mean 319 median 150 eggs/g. Finishing positions significantly associated higher counts. Conclusions: population professionally trained Danish not levels. Potential relevance: traditional frequent anthelmintic treatments racehorses may inordinate.
