Methods to Suppress Estrus in Race Mares

Grants and Contracts Details

Description

This project will examine two approaches to prevent the mare from showing estrus: 1) injection of a long-acting oxytocin and 2) injection of a non-steroidal inflammatory drug (Cox inhibitor, meloxicam) to suppress PGF2-alpha secretion. The results of this study will provide a simple reversible means of controlling estrus behavior in mares.
