Preservation of fecal glucocorticoid metabolites and immunoglobulin A through silica gel drying for field studies in horses

Non-invasive methods enable stress evaluation through measuring fecal glucocorticoid metabolites (FGMs), and immunoglobulin A (IgA) in the feces avoiding stressful blood drawing or stressful restraining of animals in the field. However, FGMs and IgA are mostly analysed in freshly frozen samples, whi...
