Suspect a biofilm or latent infection if bacterial endometritis is treated appropriately, but the infection persists.
A reproduction specialist reviews how she successfully managed and impregnated a particularly challenging problem mare.
University of Kentucky’s Dr. Barry Ball defines the high-risk pregnancy and its causes and offers management options. Learn about fescue toxicosis, umbilical torsion, premature placental separation, and more in this information-packed lecture.
No single agent reliably disrupted biofilm in all tested bacteria, but several were effective against specific species.
Learn how to manage these challenging cases and improve the mare’s chance of producing a live foal.
Pregnancy failure in mares is a very real risk; here’s how to prevent or handle it.
Researchers said a water-based enrofloxacin suspension could be useful for treating some bacterial endometritis cases.
Study topics include laminitis, foal pneumonia, stem cells, endometritis, joint issues, insulin resistance, and more.
Dr. Pat McCue describes the reproduction studies from the past year he deemed most important and useful.
Use a multidimensional treatment approach to give mares the best chance for recovery.
Endometritis is inflammation of the endometrium, or uterine lining.
The buffered chelators had no deleterious effects on the endometrium or the establishment of pregnancy.
Ensure a bacterial infection that will respond to antibiotics is actually present before beginning treatment.
In some mares chronic uterine inflammation is a persistent problem that can interfere with pregnancy.
Mette Christoffersen, DVM, and Morten Petersen, PhD, DVM, Dipl. ACT, both from the University of Copenhagen, and Pauline Peugent, a French student working on her master’s degree, have spent several months in Lexington researching equine reproduction.
