Abstract
In this study, Rebecca Mouncey and co-workers in the UK, Canada and USA investigated associations between turn-out practices and rates of musculoskeletal disease and injury in young Thoroughbreds on stud farms in the UK.Daily records were kept on location and duration of turn-out for 134 Thoroughbred foals on six stud farms, from birth until leaving the farm or study exit.Data on veterinary-attended episodes of musculoskeletal disease or injury were collated concurrently.Average daily turn-out times (hours), areas (acres) and group size (n foals) were calculated for rolling 7-and 30-day periods of age.Associations between turn-out practices and musculoskeletal disease and injury were investigated using Multivariable Cox regression.The overall incidence of musculoskeletal disease or injury was 5.3 cases/100 foal-months at risk (95% CI: 4.2-6.6).Compared with 24/7 turn-out, average daily turn-out times of between 9 and 23 hours over a 7-day period were associated with a 4.6-fold increase in musculoskeletal injury rate (95% CI: 1.7-12.3),adjusting for farm and paddock area.Each 1-acre increase in the average daily turn-out area during the fourth month of life reduced the rate of musculoskeletal disease and injury between 6 and 18 months of age by 24% (HR: 0.76; 95% CI: 0.58-0.99),adjusting for farm and turn-out time.These results suggest that disruptions or alterations to turn-out time routines increase injury risk and should be avoided where possible.Turn-out in larger paddocks, particularly before weaning, may confer protection against subsequent musculoskeletal disease and injury. EFFEC TS OF ROAD TR ANS P ORT In this study, Francesca Arfuso and co-workers in Italy evaluated the change in white blood cell (WBC) count, serum concentration of cortisol, C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin and globulin fractions in horses after road transport, and assessed the linkage among hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and inflammatory reaction.Blood samples were collected from 10 horses at rest, before road transport (218 km) (BT); after unloading (AT), 30 and 60 min after unloading (AT30 and AT60) to assess WBC, serum cortisol, CRP, total proteins, albumin, 1-, -2, 1-, 2-and -globulins.WBC, cortisol, CRP, 1-, -2 and 2-globulins values were higher after road transport than at rest.Albumin and A/G ratio showed lower values after road transport than rest.Pearson's test showed a negative correlation between cortisol and the values of WBC, CRP, 1-, 2-, 1-, 2-globulins, and a positive correlation between WBC and serum concentration of CRP, 1-and 2-, 1-, 2-globulins at AT and AT30.These results showed that road transport evokes an inflammatory-like status in horses.Moreover, the activation of HPA and the onset of acute phase reaction in response to road transport seem to be interconnected with effects on the horse's immune status.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
