Abstract/OtherAbstract:
An experiment was conducted to test the effect of repeated transcervical (non-surgical) uterine flushing and a prostaglandin analogue (PG) on the estrous cycle of pony mares. Uteri in group A were trancervically flushed for embryos 7 to 9 days post ovulation. In addition, group B mares were given 5 ml of PG by intramuscular injection on the day of flushing. Group C served as controls and were not flushed or given PG but were allowed to cycle normally. All mares (except controls) were bred A.I. every other day during estrus. There was no effect on embryo recovery rate from repeated flushing or PG administration. The number of days in estrus was greater for groups A and B than for group C (P<0.05). Length of diestrus was longer for group C than for the other two groups. The total estrous cycle length was similar for all three groups (P>0.05).
