Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Neonatal Physiology

Background:

  • Historically, low survival rates in barking foals were observed.
  • Perinatal asphyxia is a significant risk factor in neonatal foal mortality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the causes of poor survival in asphyxiated foals.
  • To highlight the importance of recognizing periparturient conditions and clinicopathologic complications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical data and clinical observations.
  • Analysis of clinicopathologic findings in asphyxiated foals.

Main Results:

  • Cumulative effects of asphyxia on multiple organ systems contribute to mortality.
  • A spectrum of clinicopathologic complications can arise from perinatal asphyxia.

Conclusions:

  • Successful treatment necessitates understanding the underlying periparturient conditions.
  • Comprehensive management requires addressing the full range of complications associated with foal asphyxia.
