GSE97906 Effect of a progressive weaning on behavioural and physiologic indicators in foals (Equus caballus)

This article presents the effects of a progressive weaning on various physiological parameters (cortisol, C reactive protein, length of telomeres) and on the blood transcriptome, among the foals and the mares. Results indicate that a progressive weaning has beneficial short-term effects in foals, and that in the longer term the foals weaned abruptly have compensated this gap. In mothers, the beneficial effects of the progressive weaning are less important.
