Reasons for performing study The 2 sites of bone marrow harvest for isolation of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) in the horse are the sternum and ilium. The technical procedure is based on practitioner preference, but no studies have compared MSC concentrations and growth rates between the sites in horses aged 25 years. Objectives The objective of this study was to compare nucleated cell counts and growth rates between the sternum and ilium and between consecutive 5ml bone marrow aspirates. We hypothesised that there would be a higher concentration of MSCs in the sternum than the ilium, and that the first sequential aspirate from either site would yield the greatest concentration of MSCs. We hypothesised that growth rates of cells from each site would not differ. Methods Seven horses, aged 2 to 5 years, had 2 sequential 5ml marrow aspirates taken from the sternum and ilium. Nucleated cell counts (NCCs) were obtained before and after marrow processing. Cells were expanded in culture for 3 passages and growth rate characteristics compared for all aspirates. Results The NCCs of the first 5ml aspirate were higher than those of the second 5ml aspirate for both sites (P
