Laminitis is one of the most common multifactorial diseases of horse limbs. Recent studies show that 90% of this disease is due to endocrinological diseases such as Cushing's syndrome or equine metabolic syndrome. In available literature, there is not much relevant information on the relationship of laminitis to hematological and biochemical blood parameters. This diploma thesis "Changes in selected blood parameters of horses" evaluates biochemical and haematological blood parameters in connection with laminitis in 27 sick horses. It statistically compares the differences in blood parameters between healthy and sick horses.

Laminitis is one of the most important complex diseases of horses, often leading to irreversible hoof changes, which fundamentally restricts work and sports use of horses, fitness, performance, and reduces their value. Prevention and timely treatment is a prerequisite for further full use of the horse. The bachelor thesis deals with the anatomy and physiology of the hoof, the etiology of the disease of the hoof joint, and the formation, course and treatment of the hoof approval with the aim of getting acquainted with the possibility of alternative treatment. Part of the work is also an evaluation of the incidence of hoof approval, treatment and prevention methods. A questionnaire survey was carried out in 18 holdings with a total of 23 recorded cases of hoof approval, with the most common proportion of horses in the age category 11-15 years (34.8%). The disease was mainly found in horses used for recreation (78.3%) who had 60.9% physiological hooves. The disease was found in most horses (91.3%) in the clinical phase, most often after lameness (69.6%). The main cause of hoof approval in our questionnaire survey was a nutrition error (82.6%). From the point of view of breeding, the disease was most frequently observed in the pony (73.9%).

Methods of horses laminitis theraphy
Slezáková, Iveta ; Slavík, Petr (advisor) ; Krejčířová, Romana (referee)
This Bachelor labour concerned by treatment of laminis hoofs. The introduction address in particular to history of the disease. Literature review is divided into several chapters. The first is the anatomy of the hoof, which is important for understanding the biological processes that occur during laminitis. The second chapter is focused on this disease and provides explanation and characteristic of laminitis. Listed below are the causes, pathogenesis, action in the hoof, clinical symptoms, more extensive diagnosis and extensive consequences of the disease. The main part of bachelor thesis deals with the treatment and is divided into several sections. Each of them describes the various methods of therapy, the advantages and disadvantages, and at what stage the disease is to be used. It is the elimination of the causes, cryotherapy, rest, analgesics, frog, heels and sole support, foot casts, trimming of hoof, therapeutic shoeing, hirudotherapy and deep flexor tenotomy. The last chapter before the conclusion of a brief comparison of these metods. The conclusion emphasizes some important information for successful therapy.

Condition comparison of laminitic horses with healthy horses
Vitnerová, Dana ; Rozinek, Jiří (advisor) ; Jakub, Jakub (referee)
Laminitis (commonly called founder) is the second most frequent reason to euthanize the horse after colic. It is a general system disease, which has many causes and risk factor and leads to significant changes in the anatomy of the hoof. If the horse fall sick, therapy is not always without aftereffects. A major part of horses affected by laminitis remain disabled and eventually must be euthanized. Experts believe that obesity is one of the risk factor for laminitis.
Body condition is the actual nutritional status of the horse. Body condition may change during the life and it is mainly influenceable by way of breeding and management.
This theses was tasked to compare the body condition of laminitic horses with healthy horses and find out whether laminitis is a potential risk for healthy horses. In theses are information about 63 horses, 31 horses with laminitis and 32 healthy horses. The results showed that 60,32 % horses (38/63) are designated as fat or obese (BCS 3,5 to 5), 20 horses with laminitis and 18 healthy horses. In ideal body condition (BCS 2,5 to 3) is 33,33 % (21/63), 8 horses with laminitis and 13 healthy horse. In bad body condition (BCS 0 to 2) is 6,35 % horses.
From these results we can estimate that majority of horses (56,25 % healthy horses) is unnecessarily overfed, horses have not adequate exercise, they are in higher body condition. In these horses is higher probability for inception of laminitis.
The statistical result showed that a group of horses with laminitis and a group of healthy horse are similar in BCS values. However both groups are different from the ideal BCS. Their BCS value (3,39) is higher than optimal (BCS 3).
From this results we can conclude that obese horse does not always suffer from laminitis and also the horse in ideal body condition can fall sick with laminitis. Higher risk for laminitis is a horse overfeeding intensive spring grazing or excessive amount of concentrated feed than the nutritional status of the horse.
