The Use of Endometrial Biopsy in the Infertile Mare

摘要: The results of a study on endometrial biopsies obtained from 700 infertile mares are reported. Infiltrative endometritis was present in 51% consisting combination an acute and chronic cellular response 6%, mild infiltrations 35% moderate to severe 10%. Demonstrable fibrosis found 88% the with majority having (51%) or (35%) changes. age average number years barren gradually increased severity fibrosis, as did combined incidence fetal loss (early embryonic death abortion) during three year period preceding biopsy. A significant decrease foaling percentage for following biopsy observed increasing fibrosis. Chisquare analysis projected rate 22.8% each category increase severity. The farm management system used also had effect probability. rates that were bred artificially (82%) under strict veterinary supervision using extender incorporating gentamicin significantly (P < 0.05) higher than conventional manner conditions (48%). It concluded is valuable diagnostic prognostic technique. When degree predict probability, breeding method be should considered arrive at more accurate prediction.
