revealed growth disorders in foals

After a long break I'm writing another article. This time of growth disorders in foals.

include growth disorders:

  • deformities
  1. axial deviation
  2. rotation deformity
  3. tendon deformities
  • osteochondrosis
  1. joint surface changes
  2. OCD or chips
  3. cysts
  • Physitis / Epiphysitis
  1. inflammation of the growth


The prevalence of stunting is generally underestimated. Depending on the definition and processing of the data is found in the literature for normally reared foals a frequency of 10% to 50%. The growth of disease is osteochondrosis up to 25% of the foals. Not always, there is permanent damage in the adult horse. Some disorders require but a very rapid intervention to prevent damage.

The article explains the causes, consequences and therapeutic possibilities of various diseases.
