  5. Nutraceuticals and Alternative Therapies:
    Increased interest in the role of nutraceuticals and alternative therapies, such as probiotics and herbal supplements, showcases a trend towards holistic approaches to equine health.

Declining or Waning

While the journal maintains a strong focus on various core areas, certain themes appear to be declining in prominence, reflecting shifts in research interests and advancements in veterinary practices.
  1. Traditional Breeding Practices:
    Research related to conventional breeding methods is becoming less frequent as advances in reproductive technologies, such as artificial insemination and embryo transfer, take precedence.
  2. General Equine Management Practices:
    Studies focusing solely on generic management practices are waning, as there is a shift towards more specific investigations that address targeted health and welfare concerns.
  3. Basic Nutritional Studies:
    While nutrition remains a key topic, there is a noticeable decline in basic nutritional studies; more emphasis is being placed on the impact of specific dietary interventions on health outcomes.
  4. Infectious Disease Surveillance:
    Although still important, the frequency of papers focusing solely on infectious disease surveillance is decreasing, as integrated approaches combining epidemiology and treatment are gaining traction.
