Özet

Reproductive efficiency is an essential factor for producing a healthy foal every year from broodmares. However, the reproductive physiology and seasonal pattern of mares restrict the reproductive efficiency and cause a limited breeding season. Moreover, there has been a universal birthday for all thoroughbreds on 1 January in the Northern Hemisphere. Thus, the owners aim to breed mares and birth foals as early as possible in the year. Breeding soundness examination is a systematic and effective procedure to assess the health and fertility status of the mares. An annual breeding soundness examination can save time, budget, and the welfare of the animal.
