چکیده
Reduced fertility associated with fluid accumulation has been recognized for many years in broodmares. This subfertility is caused by an unsuitable environment for the developing conceptus within the uterus, and in some cases, the ensuing endometritis persists and causes early regression of the corpus luteum (CL). Persistent mating-induced endometritis has come to be recognized as a major reason for failure of conception in mares. Recently, it was stated that persistent sperm-induced inflammation may be a more important cause of infertility in susceptible mares than infectious endometritis.

The incidence of oestrus in mares during the transitional period was unaffected by protein nutrition. Ovarian activity, as evaluated by follicular development and size of the ovaries, was affected. Mares that received low-quality protein (Groups 1 and 2) had a higher number...
