The technique of tracheobronchial biopsy in the horse and its application in evaluation of the response of respiratory epithelium to stall confinement

The respiratory epithelial response of the adult horse was evaluated after being housed on pasture and in an enclosed stable for four week periods. six thoroughbred cross horses, ranging from 3 to 6 years old, were housed on a pasture for 2 months, and evaluated at the end of this period. After an...
