Preliminary assessment of the leukocyte coping capacity as a point of care marker in horses with stress associated diseases
Lame horses had higher EGUS scores and lower LCC levels, indicating a possible link between lameness, EGUS, and stress. Our findings support further investigation into the use of LCC as a quantitative immunological marker of stress with strong potential for use at point of care.
