Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
One of the major factors contributing to production losses in the equine industry is pathogenic-associated reproductive dysfunction. While it is difficult to place a true value on the economic losses associated with pathogen-induced reproductive dysfunction in the horse due to the varying value of individual animals, the severe financial loss and emotional stress to horse owners and breeders alike is significant. Pathogenic organisms are associated with poor reproductive performance in the stallion, open and pregnant mare alike. Thus, the focus of the Horse Species Symposium held in Denver, Colorado on July 15, 2010 at the joint meetings of the American Society of Dairy Science, Poultry Science Association, Asociación Mexicana de Producción Animal, Canadian Society of Animal Science, and American Society of Animal Science targeted three areas that are of significance: 1) contagious equine metritis; 2) identification of pathogens associated with endometritis and chronic endometritis in the mare, and 3) pathogen invasion during uterine infection leading to premature birth in mares. The primary goal of the symposium was to give an update on these three areas of concern, and what progress has been made in the management, diagnosis and treatment of these infectious conditions that has lead to lower reproductive performance in the equine species. |
