Tendinitis of the superficial digital flexor tendon is a significant cause of lameness in horses, However, recent studies have shown that stem cells could be useful in veterinary regenerative medicine. Therefore, we isolated and characterizated equine umblical cord blood obtained from thoroughbred mares during the foaling period.
