Fragile foal syndrome: manifestations, heterozygous advantage and the future of breeding policies.

Journal of equine veterinary science - 1 Apr 2026

Abstract excerpt

Scientific interest in relation to Fragile Foal Syndrome (FFS) has proliferated in the last decade, but before this, many clinical cases were attributed to other similarly presenting equine neonatal disorders. It was thought that FFS-affected foals were mainly miscarried throughout gestation, but recent study results suggest that often, foals are born alive and die shortly after birth. FFS is proposed to have...
