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
