Equine fertility

Equine fertility refers to a horse's ability to reproduce successfully. In mares, fertility depends on hormonal cycles, ovulation timing, and overall health, with most mares being fertile during their breeding season. Stallions produce sperm that must effectively fertilize the mare’s eggs. Factors such as age, health, and environment can influence fertility in both sexes. Proper management, nutrition, and timing are essential for breeding success. Understanding and addressing reproductive health issues can help ensure healthy foal production, contributing to the overall well-being and productivity of horse populations.
