Declarations
:
: The horses sampled in this study were already euthanized at a licensed abattoir in Sweden for reasons unrelated to the study and before sample collection for the study was conducted. According to Swedish legislation, collecting tissue from animals already scheduled for euthanasia does not require an ethical permit or informed consent, as no experiments were conducted on the live animals. This approach aligns with the principles of the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement), ensuring responsible use of resources while avoiding additional harm to animals.
