Results
In this study the mean ± S.E values of vital parameters in horses 1 hour before and 5 min after exercise were comparatively assessed and the results were presented in Table 1. Prior to exercise, the values of heart rate, respiration rate, temperature and pulse rate were 38.89 ± 1.42, 17.83 ± 1.07, 99.32 ± 0.23 and 37.17 ± 1.10 respectively. After exercise the vital parameters were 70.67 ± 4.62, 31.83 ± 1.49, 99.87 ± 0.22 and 66.89 ± 4.42 respectively. Highly significant increase in heart rate, temperature, respiration rate and pulse rate were seen 5 min after exercise when compared to 1 hour before exercise.
