This examination is performed during one of your mare’s early seasons and enables the veterinary surgeon to assess whether she has the potential to become pregnant and carry and deliver a foal successfully through to term.  Essentially, it is an assessment of her reproductive health.

 

The Pre-Breeding Examination includes:

 

• General health check and clinical examination
• Assessment of vulval conformation and cervix
• Vaginal examination
• Clitoral swab for CEM, including lab fees, required by ALL studs
• Blood sample for EVA, including lab fees, required by MOST studs
• Endometrial (uterine)swab, including lab fees - essential for early detection of uterine infection
• Ultrasound scan of the uterus to assess ovarian function, cyst mapping and early detection of uterine fluid
