Description
This episode focuses on the reproduction process in horses,
telling the story of a mare named Tari. From the first signs of estrus, to the miraculous journey of the sperm cell, to the pregnancy paradox, where the mother's immune system tolerates the half-foreign DNA of the embryo, Dr. Chris Mortensen walks through the intricate process of equine pregnancy and
childbirth.
As part of the reproductive journey, we also understand the
behavior changes in mares due to hormones. The episode also touches on safety concerns regarding the use of hormone supplements in mares like Regumate.
Dr. Mortensen emphasizes the information in this episode is
crucial for anyone working with mares, particularly during the breeding season, and fosters an appreciation for the intricate biological processes involved in equine reproduction.
