Les pathologies de la reproduction des juments

Abstract

Reproduction is an important economic issue which has led the veterinarian to set up means of diagnosing pathologies of the genital tract. Malformations and non-inflammatory diseases, as well as oviduct disorders, are not well known in mares because they are difficult to detect, mainly metritis. Reproductive management, included in herd monitoring, requires vaginal examinations that must be carried out with the usual precautions in order not to spread infections. Finally, it is important to emphasize the importance of rigorous hygiene during all interventions in the genital area, a source of contamination.
