Post-breeding endometritis in the mare.
Post-breeding endometritis is a major cause of subfertility in the mare. Endometritis is a normal event in the immediate period after mating, but the presence of ultransonographically visible uterine fluid more than 12 h later is thought to be evidence of uterine pathology. In mares that are free of venerally transmitted endometritis, treatment is aimed at removing the intraluminal fluid. If th...
متن کاملThe Effect of Postinsemination Endometritis on Fertility of Frozen Stallion Semen
In mares, a physiological endometritis ensues following the deposition of semen into the uterus. This response is thought to be due to the antigenic nature of spermatozoa, specifically the activation of complement, and may be modulated by the presence of seminal plasma component of the semen. The removal of seminal plasma during cryopreservation of spermatozoa may account for the longer duratio...
متن کاملEndometrial IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha, mRNA expression in mares resistant or susceptible to post-breeding endometritis. Effects of estrous cycle, artificial insemination and immunomodulation.
Endometrial mRNA expression of the pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) was assessed in mares resistant (RM) or susceptible (SM) to persistent post-breeding endometritis (PPBE). Eight RM and eight SM, were selected based on reproductive records and functional tests out of a herd of 2,000 light cross-type mares...
متن کاملEquine post-breeding endometritis: A review
The deposition of semen, bacteria and debris in the uterus of the mare after breeding normally induces a self-limiting endometritis. The resultant fluid and inflammatory products are cleared by 48 hours post cover. Mares that are susceptible to persistent post-breeding endometritis (PPBEM) have impaired uterine defence and clearance mechanisms, making them unable to resolve this inflammation wi...
متن کاملBreeding the Problem Mare by Artificial Insemination
Horse breeding is the procedure by which an adequate number of sperm are deposited into the uterus of a “healthy” mare at the right time. Although semen deposition is performed in all breeds by natural cover (NC), it is often, and with increasing frequency, done artificially. Although the main difference between natural breeding and artificial insemination (AI) is the delivery method of semen i...
