Effects of an Immunostimulant Containing Propionibacterium acnes (EqStim) on Cell-Mediated Immunity and Nasal Shedding of Respiratory Pathogens Using a Model of “Weaning” Stress in Foals

2016-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Weaning of foals is a stressful event, and often, times can be associated with negative health consequences, including reduced immunity and increased susceptibility to gastrointestinal and respiratory disorders. Thus, a possible preventative immunomodulator of weaning-associated stress was studied in 21 pony foals (205 days ± 5 day old). Of these, n = 11 received the immunostimulant EqStim and n = 10 received a sa...
