About: Horse teeth

An Entity of Type: ConnectiveTissue105286536, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Horse teeth refers to the dentition of equine species, including horses and donkeys. Equines are both heterodontous and diphyodontous, which means that they have teeth in more than one shape (there are up to five shapes of tooth in a horse's mouth), and have two successive sets of teeth, the deciduous ("baby teeth") and permanent sets. As grazing animals, good dentition is essential to survival. Continued grazing creates specific patterns of wear, which can be used along with patterns of eruption to estimate the age of the horse.

  • La denture du cheval, souvent nommée par erreur dentition du cheval, est composée de 36 à 40 dents à l'âge adulte, de 40 dents chez le mâle, et de 36 dents chez la jument.Les juments qui possèdent 40 dents sont bréhaignes et elles sont souvent stériles mais pas toujours.L'état des dents est un point de repère pour déterminer l'âge de l'animal. Le poulain a une denture de lait qui tombe progressivement pour laisser place à sa denture adulte composée des dents dites de remplacement. La denture définitive est acquise à l'âge de six ans environ. Pour se nourrir, le cheval sélectionne les aliments avec ses lèvres. Ses incisives lui permettent d'arracher l'herbe. Ses molaires, agissant comme des meules, lui servent à broyer les aliments. Les dents du cheval sont en croissance permanente, ce qui lui permet de manger des plantes abrasives comme les graminées. Dans la nature, l'usure due à la mastication compense la pousse des dents. (fr)
