Normal reproductive cycle of the mare (2020)

Overview

This presentation will review the normal reproductive cycle of the mare with specific reference to ovulation along with some discussion of Doppler ultrasound. Decision-making and choice of ovulation induction agents will be discussed with consideration to the prescribing cascade. Clinical research into the timing of ovulation will be presented and guidelines for fixed time breeding with chilled and frozen semen will be discussed. This webinar will improve one’s knowledge about ovulation induction agent options, the ultrasonographic features of the pre-ovulatory follicle and signs of impending ovulation. It will be particularly useful for clinicians dealing with mares to be intensively bred, be it Thoroughbred by natural cover or Sports Horse by artificial methods.
