Gastroendoscopic examinations were conducted on 75 Thoroughbred foals aged two to 85 days on seven breeding farms in England and Ireland. The foals showed no signs of gastric disease. There was no significant difference between lesion prevalence in foals in England (16 of 28 foals; 57 per cent) or Ireland (22 of 47 foals; 47 per cent). Neither was there any sex predilection (18 of 36 males; 20 of 39 females). Lesions were most prevalent in foals under 10 days old (8 of 9) and least prevalent in foals older than 70 days (3 of 10). Lesions occurred most frequently in the squamous mucosa immediately adjacent to the margo plicatus along the greater curvature (34 foals), whereas lesions in the squamous fundus, the glandular fundus, and the lesser curvature were observed in 11, six and three foals, respectively. Lesions were not observed in the squamous mucosa surrounding the cardia. Gastric lesions were more prevalent in foals with a previous disorder than in those without (68 vs 43 per cent) and particularly with a history of recent or concurrent diarrhoea (9 of 14).
对英格兰和爱尔兰7个种马场的75匹2至85日龄的纯种马驹进行了胃镜检查。这些马驹没有胃部疾病的迹象。英格兰马驹（28匹中有16匹；57%）和爱尔兰马驹（47匹中有22匹；47%）的病变发生率没有显著差异。也没有任何性别偏好（36匹雄性中有18匹；39匹雌性中有20匹）。病变在10日龄以下的马驹中最为普遍（9匹中有8匹），在70日龄以上的马驹中最不普遍（10匹中有3匹）。病变最常发生在沿大弯紧邻褶缘的鳞状黏膜（34匹马驹），而鳞状胃底、腺性胃底和小弯的病变分别在11匹、6匹和3匹马驹中观察到。在贲门周围的鳞状黏膜中未观察到病变。有既往疾病的马驹比没有既往疾病的马驹胃部病变更普遍（68%对43%），特别是有近期或并发腹泻病史的马驹（14匹中有9匹）。
