A mare’s pregnancy might not seem that complicated on the surface, but her relationship with the embryo and its adjacent parts–in total, the conceptus–is remarkably complex. In order to prevent early embryonic loss, the conceptus must interrupt her
The genetics behind the athletic performance of Thoroughbred racehorses has been a popular area of research in the past few years. A large-scale study was carried out recently in Japan, the results of which corroborate those of previous studies:
