The presented manuscript provides reference for practitioners when measuring normal hoof temperature, as well as controlling the temperature after shoeing with particular shoes. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of horse shoeing with egg bar shoes and shoes with wedge pads on hoof temperature measured by thermography. This was a prospective study conducted on 16 horses. The horses were divided into two groups: horses from group 1 were shod with egg bar shoes, while horses from group 2 were shod with shoes with wedge pads. Thermographic examination was performed below the metacarpophalangeal joint before and one month after shoeing. After shoeing with egg bar shoes, there was a decrease in the median of the minimal temperature in the palmar view. After shoeing with wedge pads, thermography revealed decreased hoof temperature in the dorsal and palmar views. Horse shoes may have a negative impact on the blood circulation and metabolism within the distal part of the limb; however, our study found this only to a minor extent.
所呈现的手稿为从业者测量正常蹄温以及使用特定蹄铁钉蹄后控制蹄温提供了参考。本研究的目的是确定使用蛋形蹄铁和带有楔形垫的蹄铁给马钉蹄对通过热成像测量的蹄温的影响。这是一项对16匹马进行的前瞻性研究。这些马被分为两组：第1组的马使用蛋形蹄铁钉蹄，而第2组的马使用带有楔形垫的蹄铁钉蹄。在钉蹄前和钉蹄后一个月，在掌指关节下方进行热成像检查。使用蛋形蹄铁钉蹄后，掌侧视图中最低温度的中位数有所下降。使用楔形垫钉蹄后，热成像显示背侧和掌侧视图中的蹄温均下降。蹄铁可能会对肢体远端的血液循环和新陈代谢产生负面影响；然而，我们的研究发现这种影响程度较小。
