Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Equine reproduction holds significant economic importance, driving continuous advancements in reproductive technologies to optimize the reproductive capacity of mares. The unique reproductive characteristics of mares, including their estrous cycle, pregnancy development, and parturition, necessitate specialized veterinary approaches. Continuous evolution and improvement in reproductive techniques are essential to enhance mare reproductive performance.
Mares exhibit specific reproductive pathologies that require tailored veterinary interventions, highlighting the need for a dedicated focus on mare reproductive health. Advancing knowledge in reproductive infertility is crucial, encompassing both the physiological aspects and potential therapeutic approaches for reproductive disorders.
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in mare reproduction, covering a broad spectrum of topics:
- Reproductive-Assisted Technologies: Innovations in techniques such as artificial insemination, embryo transfer, and in vitro fertilization.
- Reproductive Physiology: Insights into the unique physiological processes, including hormonal regulation, ovarian function, and uterine health.
- Reproductive Disorders: Exploration of common and emerging reproductive pathologies, including their diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment options.
This Special Issue seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of mare reproduction. The continuous evolution of reproductive techniques and a deeper understanding of mare reproductive health are essential for improving reproductive outcomes and addressing the specific needs of mares.
