Abstract

In order to find early selection criteria to improve the longevity of show jumping horses, a specific protocol was designed.

Research summary

The paper investigates blood parameters in horses to identify early selection criteria for improving longevity in show jumping, which is relevant to the broader context of functional longevity. However, the focus on a specific animal model and the application to a niche area of equine sports limits its broader impact on the field of longevity research. The findings may contribute to understanding longevity in this specific context but do not significantly advance the overall understanding of aging or lifespan extension in a more general sense.
