  • Title: Twenty-eight element concentrations in mane hair samples of adult riding horses determined by particle-induced X-ray emission.
    Author: Asano K, Suzuki K, Chiba M, Sera K, Asano R, Sakai T.
    Journal: Biol Trace Elem Res; 2005 Nov; 107(2):135-40. PubMed ID: 16217138.
    Abstract:
    The concentrations of 28 elements (Al, Br, Ca, Cl, Co, Cu, Cr, Fe, Ga, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Nb, Ni, P, Pb, Rb, S, Se, Si, Sr, Ti, V, Y, and Zn) were measured in mane hair by the particle-induced X-ray emission method. Except for Br, Cl, K, S, and P, the trace element concentrations in mane hair of horses are similar to literature values for human hair. The values obtained are not dependent on the horse's age, breed, and sex and could be used as reference values in the assessment of diseases and nutritional status in equines.
