Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Equine Reproduction

Background:

  • Parturition in horses is a complex physiological process.
  • Deviations from normal parturition can lead to severe complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review common problems during the periparturient period in mares.
  • To highlight conditions requiring urgent intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of equine parturition complications.
  • Discussion of clinical signs and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • Identified key periparturient complications in mares.
  • Emphasized the rapid nature of normal foal delivery.

Conclusions:

  • Prompt recognition and management of periparturient issues are crucial for mare and foal survival.
  • Understanding normal parturition events aids in identifying abnormalities.
