Microphone-recorded respiratory sounds from horses undergoing a standardised exercise test

<strong>General introduction</strong>This dataset contains data collected in April and June 2022 as part of a research collaboration between Utrecht University (NL), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SE), Inertia Technology B.V. (NL) and Menhammar Stuteri (SE) and is part of the PhD project of Rhana M. Aarts. <br>It is being made public both to act as supplementary data for publication and the PhD thesis of R. M. Aarts &amp; Jeanne .I.M. Parmentier and in order for other researchers to use this data for future work. <br>It contains respiration sound data from fifteen Standardbred Warmblood Trotters (n=15) collected using a microphone attached close to the nostrils. The data was collected during a standardized exercise test on the track, whilst pulling a sulky. There are two different trotting speeds in this dataset (regular speed trot and high-speed trot).<br>The dataset consists of 2x 15 FLAC-files (total 30 FLAC-files) and there are two files for each horse: one regular speed trot and one high-speed trot segment. Additionally, there is one Excel-file containing information about the horses (age, sex, breed), trotting speeds, segment duration and file names. <br><strong>Ethical statement</strong>Signed written owner consent was obtained for all horses and the Ethics Committee for Animal Experiments, Uppsala, Sweden, approved the study (Dnr 5.8.18-04197/2022) in accordance with Swedish legislation on animal experiments.<br><strong>Funding information</strong>This project was funded by an European research fund (Eureka Eurostars: E!114697).<br><strong>Acknowledgements</strong>The authors would like to thank all people involved in the data collection (Zala Zgank, Ineke Smit, Ebba Zetterberg, Guillherme Camargo Ferraz) and the drivers and grooms of Menhammar Stuteri. They would also like to thank everyone involved in the project: Mihai Marin-Perianu, Raluca Marin-Perianu, Elin Hernlund, Filipe Serra Bragança and Johan Hellander.

<strong>数据集概况</strong>
本数据集采集于2022年4月与6月，由荷兰乌得勒支大学（Utrecht University, NL）、瑞典农业科学大学（Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, SE）、英特提亚科技有限公司（Inertia Technology B.V., NL）以及瑞典Menhammar马场（Menhammar Stuteri, SE）联合开展的研究项目产出，同时属于Rhana M. Aarts的博士研究项目。
本数据集公开发布，一方面可作为R. M. Aarts与Jeanne I. M. Parmentier的发表论文及博士学位论文的补充数据，另一方面供其他研究人员用于后续研究工作。
本数据集包含15匹标准温血挽马（Standardbred Warmblood Trotters, n=15）的呼吸音数据，采集方式为在马匹鼻孔附近佩戴麦克风录制。数据采集于赛道上的标准化运动测试过程中，此时马匹正牵引双轮轻便马车（sulky）。本数据集包含两种不同的快步速度：常规速度快步与高速快步。
本数据集共包含30个FLAC音频文件（2×15个），每匹马对应两个文件：分别为常规速度快步与高速快步的音频片段。此外还附带1个Excel文件，其中包含马匹的年龄、性别、品种、快步速度、音频片段时长以及文件名等信息。

<strong>伦理声明</strong>
所有受试马匹均已获得饲养主签署的书面知情同意，本研究已通过瑞典乌普萨拉市动物实验伦理委员会（Ethics Committee for Animal Experiments, Uppsala, Sweden）审批，审批编号为Dnr 5.8.18-04197/2022，符合瑞典动物实验相关法律法规要求。

<strong>资助信息</strong>
本项目由欧洲研究基金资助（Eureka Eurostars: E!114697）。

<strong>致谢</strong>
