An anti-equine hematin antibody which specifically binds to equine hematin.

A hybridoma cell line which produces and secretes monoclonal antibodies which specifically bind to equine globin.

A hybridoma cell line which produces and secretes monoclonal antibodies which specifically bind to equine hematin.

A method of producing an antibody that specifically binds to equine globin.

A method of producing an antibody that specifically binds to equine hematin.

A rapid test kit for the detection and localization of ulcers in equines, comprising:

• a first test strip for a rapid immunoassay or peroxidase reaction to detect the presence of a gastric ulcer in an equine;
• and
• a second test strip for a rapid immunoassay to detect the presence of a colonic ulcer in an equine.

A rapid test kit for the detection and localization of ulcers in equines, comprising:

• a first test strip for a rapid immunoassay or peroxidase reaction to detect the presence of hematin which is indicative of the presence of a gastric ulcer in an equine;
• and
• a second test strip for a rapid immunoassay to detect the presence of equine globin which is indicative of the presence of a colonic ulcer in an equine.
