Dr Jack Murphy of the UCD School of Agriculture, Food Science and Veterinary Medicine and tells us that researchers from UCD are undertaking a national survey to determine the levels of crib-biting in young horses. Crib-biting, he says, represents a significant clinical problem and economic cost to the horse industry. Detailed information of the occurrence, causation and control of crib-biting behavior in the horse from both mechanistic and functional levels is limited and poorly understood. New evidence suggests that crib-biting may be associated with the development of stomach ulcers and the UCD team aim to investigate the potential associations between gastro-intestinal disease and the incidence/severity of crib-biting in the current crop of thoroughbred yearlings.
