Özet

Background: Respiratory disease negatively affects the physiological performance of racehorses. Inflammatory Airway Disease (IAD) is a typical respiratory disease that affects young horses. The pathogenesis of IAD remains incompletely defined but it is thought to be associated with the inhalation of irritants such as barn dust and air pollution. Although noninfectious agents are likely to be central to the development of IAD, infectious agents can be associated with the disease. The main objective of the present study was to determine the relationships between IAD and antioxidant capacity, ceruloplasmin levels and bacterial and fungal infection status, in racehorses.
