Effects of Body Condition Score on the Reproductive Physiology of the Broodmare: A Review

2014-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The feeding management of broodmares is essential for breeding and successfully raising a healthy foal. A feeding regime will depend on the breed of mare, her age, body condition score (BCS), and general health and management. To maintain the broodmare in adequate body condition, her BCS should be ascertained and a feed regime implemented to maintain her optimum BCS and body weight, thus increasing fertility, milk...
