Postbreeding Uterine Fluid Accumulation in a Normal Population of Thoroughbred Mares: A Field Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
The incidence of postbreeding fluid accumulation is approximately 15% in a normal population of Thoroughbreds. Both the incidence and severity of intraluminal fluid accumulation increase with age. In addition, barren mares are more likely than maiden and foaling mares to accumulate fluid in the uterine lumen the day after breeding. Postbreeding fluid accumulation treated with uterine lavage or uterotonic drugs the day after breeding had only a minor effect on reproductive performance under the conditions of this study.

A Practical Method for Recognizing Mares Susceptible to Post-breeding Endometritis by S.P. Brinsko et al.; P0657.1103
The presence of more than 2 cm (height) of uterine fluid during estrus seems to be a predictor of susceptibility to postbreeding endometritis.
متن کاملUterine nitric oxide levels and isofluopredone treatment effect in mares susceptible to persistent post-breeding endometritis
Transient endometritis is a normal consequence of breeding and results from uterine contamination with both semen and bacteria. The modulation of the inflammatory response with the use of isoflupredone has been proposed as efficient for the treatment of endometritis by increasing pregnancy rates. The aim of the current study was to determine the effects of isoflupredone on nitric oxide (NO) lev...
متن کاملHistopathological Characteristics of Endometrosis in Thoroughbred Mares in Japan: Results from 50 Necropsy Cases
Uteri from 50 necropsied nonpregnant Japanese Thoroughbred brood mares (1-30 years of age) were investigated to clarify the histopathological characteristics of endometrosis in Japanese Thoroughbred mares and the distribution pattern of endometrosis lesions in the uterus as a whole. Endometrosis was observed in all animals over 6 years of age and in all of the 21 mares aged over 12 years of age...
متن کاملEffect of frozen semen on the uterus of mares with pathological uterine changes.
Pregnancy rates after frozen semen inseminations (AI), particularly in older and problem mares, are lower than after fresh semen AI. Uterine contractility and the inflammatory reaction after frozen semen insemination were studied in two groups of mares: the abnormal group comprised of 6 old barren mares categorized in biopsy category IIB or III, and the control group including 6 reproductively ...
متن کاملEvaluation of therapeutic effects of a 5-day intrauterine infusion of 6% Eucalyptus globulus oil solution on mares with experimentally induced endometritis with Streptococcus zooepidemicus
Endometritis is one of the major causes of infertility in mares. The present study was conducted to evaluate intrauterine infusion of Eucalyptus globulus oil as treatment for mares with experimentally induced endometritis. Mares (n=8) were synchronized using two injections of PGF2α (10 mg) 14 days apart. All mares were inoculated with a live culture of 5 × 106 CFU S. zooepidemicus in the dioest...
