Summary:
- Proteomics International Laboratories Ltd. has developed a new test called OxiDx that can detect muscle damage in thoroughbred racehorses.
- The test measures the levels of specific proteins in the horse's blood that indicate muscle injury, allowing trainers to monitor the horse's health and prevent further damage.
- This technology can help improve the welfare of racehorses by identifying potential issues early and allowing for appropriate treatment, ultimately enhancing the safety and performance of these athletes.
