The normal estrous cycle
Seasonally polyestrous breeders (75-80 % mares)
(Arabian 1/1, equator ↑ % year-round cyclicity)
The ovulatory phase
the period from first ovulation in the spring until the last ovulation in the
autumn
Anestrus
the period of ovarian activity during the winter months
Transition
the period of irregular or prolonged estrus receptivity that occurs in early
spring or late autumn
![Page 5: Estrous cycle in mare - VFU · 2018-08-10 · The normal estrous cycle Seasonally polyestrous breeders (75-80 % mares) (Arabian 1/1, equator ↑ % year-round cyclicity) The ovulatory](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040108/5f1f2e013df8605cfc1657d0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Anestrus
Described as sexually dormant
the ovaries are small, smooth and firm with no palpable follicular activity or functional luteal tissue
uterus atonic, thin-walled
mucose membranes pale, dry, no obvious secretions
cervix relaxed
plasma progesteron less than 1 ng/ml
![Page 6: Estrous cycle in mare - VFU · 2018-08-10 · The normal estrous cycle Seasonally polyestrous breeders (75-80 % mares) (Arabian 1/1, equator ↑ % year-round cyclicity) The ovulatory](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040108/5f1f2e013df8605cfc1657d0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Transition phase - spring
re-estabilishment of endocrine function
erratic sexual behavior
follicle development without accompanying ovulation
enlarge ovaries
follicles 1- 3,5cm , regress
No corpus luteum!
little physical change
in the reproductive tract
uterus flaccid, thin walled
End of the transition:
The first follicle of the year that ovulates is accompanied by uterine edema and
development of corpus luteum

Transition phase - autumn
decreasing photoperiod
has the reverse effect on
the mare to the increasing
photoperiod in the spring
behavior and ovulation
become more erratic
after last ovulation –
regress, no grow...

The ovulatory phase
Dynamic grow of follicles
3.5 – 6 cm
ovulation → corpus luteum CL
Estrous cycle
+/-21 days (from ovulation to ovulation)
follicular phase (inconsistent) and luteal phase (15 days)
estrus 2 – 10 days (14 days)
duration of the estrus
spring (longer) x autumn (short)
individuality of the mare
influence of inflammation and pathologic condition

Factors affecting the reproductive cycle of the mare
Photoperiodicity
Condition, body condition score
temperature
age
Hormons of reproductive organs
![Page 10: Estrous cycle in mare - VFU · 2018-08-10 · The normal estrous cycle Seasonally polyestrous breeders (75-80 % mares) (Arabian 1/1, equator ↑ % year-round cyclicity) The ovulatory](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022040108/5f1f2e013df8605cfc1657d0/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Photoperiodicity
the effect of day lenght are mediated negatively by melatonin secretion from the pineal gland within the brain
hight melatonin secretion suppress GnRH release from hypotalamus
no GnRH = no FSH, LH = no follicules, no estrus

Body condition score, temperature of environment, age of the mare
BCS
6-9 / from 10 points
Flushing
3 weeks before season

Age
Puberty – first ovulation (1 - 1,5 year)
breeding age – 3 years and older
too old maiden mare syndrome! ( closed cervix)

Breeding by naturale service
☺ natural!
☺ stallion in situ
☺ reliable detection of estrus
☺ good even for subfertile stallions
transport of mare (foals!)
↓ hygiene, ↓ security
less number of covered mares
transmission of infections

Arteficial insemination
☺ availability of stallion

☺ ↑number of mares
no risk of transmision of infections
