Celem pracy było wykrycie wczesnych zmian patologicznych związanych z intensywnym treningiem koni rasy półkrwi oraz arabów z zastosowaniem badań termograficznych. Badania obejmowały 20 koni wyścigowych w wieku 3 lat przez okres 4- 6 miesięcy w odstępach 3 tygodniowych. Wyniki pomiarów analizowano za pomocą testu t-Studenta. Rozpatrywane poziomy istotności to: p<0,05, p <0,01, p< 0,001. Zastosowana metoda porównywania średnich wartości temperatur mierzonych w czasie badawczym pozwoliła na wykrycie schorzeń w przypadku ich obustronnego wystąpienia w symetrycznych obszarach ciała. i przyśpieszyła około 4 tygodni identyfikację potencjalnych stanów patologicznych, przed wystąpieniem oznak klinczach.

Objective: The objective of the study was to predict subclinical signs of pathology inflammation associated with intensive training of young Polish Halfbred and Arabian race horses during training cycle applying temperature analysis of lower part of front limbs. Materials and Methods: The study was based on 20 flat race horses at age of 3 years. Thermographic images of lower part of front limbs from cranial view were taken every third week for 4- 6 months. The symmetrical areas of the lower part of the limb were identified and analyzed for average temperature differences for each horse during the research cycle. The results were analyzed using the Student's t-test. The level of significance was determined as (0,05), great significant (0,01), most significant (0,001). Results: In case of 1 horse area of the right metacarpal bone had statistically increased temperature, indicating subclinical stages of inflammation. The remaining 3 horses demonstrated subclinical signs of inflammation in the area of the right and left metacarpal bone indicating early stages of inflammation process. Summary: Theapplied method of comparing the average temperature values of symmetrical areas, monitored during the research cycle allowed detection abnormalities also in case of their bilateral accrue of symmetrical areas. Thermography assessment accelerated identification of subclinical signs of inflammation, about 4 weeks before clinical signs occurred. This study proved that infra-red diagnosis was useful in detection of pathology when images were taken regularly within a specified period of time and that they were properly interpreted. It will help in protection and identification of lower limb pathology.
