Horses, like all animals, rely on their immune systems to fight off infections and maintain overall health. Vaccination is one of the most effective methods for enhancing the immune response and protecting animals from infectious diseases. However, obesity is a growing concern in horses, and there is limited understanding of its effect on the immune system, especially in the context of vaccination. Obesity can lead to chronic inflammation and may alter the immune response. This research aims to investigate the immune indicators in horses during vaccination and evaluate the impact of obesity on their immune system's ability to form a robust response.
