The treatment of equine endometritis in studfarm practice

Abstract

Endometritis is a common challenge to the genital health of the broodmare and therefore of importance to the studfarm clinician. The control of specific sexually-transmitted bacterial infections is of fundamental importance to the smooth running of equine studfarms. An understanding of the pathogenesis of opportunist infections is fundamental to accurate diagnosis followed by the application of appropriate and successful treatment regimes, tailored to the individual needs of specific mares, to achieve maximum reproductive efficiency.
