Abstract
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the circulating adrenocorticotropin and cortisol changes in breeding stallions in response to road transport before and after the breeding season. Creatinine, creatine kinase (CK), aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, urea, and lactate dehydrogenase changes were also considered. Twenty-seven healthy stallions were studied before and after transport over a distance of 200 km, before and after the breeding season. On the basis of the number of mares covered per stallion during the breeding season, each stallion was assigned to 2 groups: 17 stallions with a poor score, mean: 7.71 ± 4.67 mares per horse (group A); 10 stallions with a good score, mean: 35.50 ± 10.66 mares per horse (group B). Increases in circulating adrenocorticotropin concentrations were found after the first trip for group A stallions ( P P P P
