Vets might be able to determine if some mares are at risk of late-term abortion by conducting a blood test.
One veterinarian says many cases of early embryonic death (EED) are probably not preventable.
The UKVDL has confirmed 11 leptospirosis abortions so far in the 2012-2013 reproductive season.
Researchers evaluated how female embryo survival could be enhanced under conditions that tend to favor male births.
One of the most important causes of embryo loss during early gestation is post-breeding endometritis.
The buffered chelators had no deleterious effects on the endometrium or the establishment of pregnancy.
As of Feb. 17 the University of Kentucky’s VDL has confirmed 21 cases of equine leptospiral abortion
Veteran broodmares are at risk of placentitis, partly due to anatomic changes from previous foalings.
Could a guttural pouch infection be the reason for a broodmare to lose an embryo at two months?
As Kentucky progresses through a near-record rainfall year, the UKVDL has observed leptospirosis abortions.
Learn about endometritis, what causes it, and what veterinarians can do to treat the condition.
The UKVDL reported an increased number of abortions and abnormal placentas due to nocardioform placentitis.
Erdal Erol, DVM, MS, PHD, gave a lecture titled “Current microbiological methods for equine abortion diagnoses
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
In the event of an equine viral arteritis (EVA) outbreak, is it safe to vaccinate your pregnant mare so she develops the immunity she needs to prevent infection and resulting abortion? The results of a recent collaborative study completed by
