The temperament of horses appears linked to levels of two important hormones, according to a fresh study.
Researchers at Kyungpook National University in South Korea concluded that levels of oxytocin and serotonin could be used as biomarkers to monitor the fearfulness, dominance, and trainability of horses.
Oxytocin and serotonin are essential neurotransmitters associated with the behavior of animals.
The study, described in the
Journal of Animal Science and Technology, centered around 34 horses at the Horse Industry Complex Center at the Jeonju Kijeon College in South Korea.
