The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and association of EGUS in horses of different ages, breeds and occupations. Gastroscopies were performed on 395 horses, and gastric ulcers were graded on a scoring system from 0 to 4. The relationship between age, breed, and work, along with the prevalence of gastric ulcers and their influences, were evaluated. The prevalence rate of ulcers in this herd was 78%. Older horses were prone to ulcers in both the glandular and squamous mucosal areas. Across the different jobs surveyed, 60% of the horses had a score of 2 or above. For the horses participating in more intense jobs (group performances, pulling carts, etc.), the number of horses with an ulcer score of 2 or above exceeded 50% of the total number of horses in this job. The prevalence of gastric ulcers was high, and these ulcers were severe in the horses belonging to the examined club, with no association between age or breed and the prevalence of ulcers; however, there was a difference in the location of the ulcers between breeds, as well as differences in the incidence and severity of ulcers depending on work activity. This study provides data reference values for the control and prevention of gastric ulcers in horses in this horse farm.
本研究的目的是确定不同年龄、品种和职业的马匹中内镜检查无明显病变（EGUS）的患病率及其相关性。对395匹马进行了胃镜检查，并根据0至4分的评分系统对胃溃疡进行分级。评估了年龄、品种和工作与胃溃疡患病率及其影响之间的关系。该马群中溃疡的患病率为78%。老年马在腺性和鳞状黏膜区域均易患溃疡。在调查的不同工作类型中，60%的马得分为2分或以上。对于参与强度更大工作（团体表演、拉车等）的马匹，溃疡得分为2分或以上的马匹数量超过了该工作类型中马匹总数的50%。胃溃疡的患病率很高，在所检查俱乐部的马匹中这些溃疡很严重，年龄或品种与溃疡患病率之间无关联；然而，不同品种之间溃疡的位置存在差异，并且根据工作活动不同，溃疡的发生率和严重程度也存在差异。本研究为该马场马匹胃溃疡的控制和预防提供了数据参考值。
