The Endocrinology of equine parturition. Delivery of viable young requires co-ordination of fetal maturation with the onset of labour at term. In turn, this depends on a cascade of fetal and maternal endocrine events. The sequence of these events is broadly similar in most mammals but there are differences in placental hormone synthesis and in the timing and magnitude of key prepartum endocrine changes between species. In most farm animals, maternal progesterone (P4) levels decline and oestrogen levels increase in the last 5 - 10 days before delivery in response to activation of the fetal hypothalamicpituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and ...
Oestrogens in faeces as an indicator of the foeto-placental unit function in mares. Total of 30 pregnant mares were used in this study: 17 Thoroughbred and 13 Primitive Polish Horse. The concentration of total unconjugated oestrogens was determined by radioimmunoassay in faecal samples obtained every second week after mating until delivery or interruption of pregnancy. Concentration of oestrogens in pregnant healthy mares ranged from 40 to 200 ng/g and showed typical profiles for pregnancy. In 5 of 30 mares (16.6%) of either breed abortions and cases of embryonic death occurred. Abortions were preceded by sharp or gradual decrease in oestrogen concentration, whereas prior to ...
Effects of altrenogest treatment of mares in late pregnancy on parturition and on neonatal viability of their foals. In this study, effects of altrenogest treatment (0.088 mg/kg daily) given to mares during late gestation until parturition on the time and the process of foaling, neonatal adaptation and postnatal development were analysed. The number of animals was 6 in the treatment group and 7 in the control group. Gestational length tended to be shorter in mares given altrenogest. Birth weight of the foals and weight of the placenta did not differ between groups. The second stage of parturition was prolonged in the altrenogest-treated mares (p<0.05). Foals born to altrenogest-treated mares had a significan...
