Mares Susceptible or Resistant to Endometritis Have Similar Endometrial Echographic and Inflammatory Cell Reactions at 96 Hours After Infusion with Frozen Semen and Extender

摘要

Mares susceptible or resistant to endometritis have a similar mild endometrial inflammatory cell reaction after breeding with frozen semen or extender. Uterine ultrasonographic features post-treatment with frozen semen or extender were similar in resistant and susceptible mares, but fluid at 24 and 96 h was a risk factor for susceptibility after bacterial infection. After artificial insemination with frozen semen, mares that develop significant post-breeding inflammation are likely to have bacterialendometritis.
