Abstract

Uterine disease, particularly endometritis, is commonly encountered in equine reproduction and has major implications for mare fertility and breeding economics. A thorough reproductive examination, combined with selection of appropriate uterine diagnostics and interpretation of those findings, is essential in the work up of cases of mare infertility. Addition of endometrial cytology and alternative culture methods, such as the low-volume lavage and uterine biopsy, will increase the clinician's diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. The practitioner's approach to the investigation of uterine disease in the field and required techniques are described in this review article.
