Key Points

Lameness is associated with higher stress levels, impacting treatment and management strategies.
Key findings indicate a correlation between lameness and stress markers, suggesting areas for future research.
Observational assessment of stress markers reveals potential links to common equine conditions.
Improving stress identification in veterinary care could enhance treatment and health outcomes for horses.

Implication

Assessment shows a possible link between lameness and stress in horses, indicating potential for point of care use of biomarkers.

Abstract

Lame horses had higher EGUS scores and lower LCC levels, indicating a possible link between lameness, EGUS, and stress. Our findings support further investigation into the use of LCC as a quantitative immunological marker of stress with strong potential for use at point of care.
