-Firstly around 1000 mares a year that are initially deemed PTIF do not produce a live foal
Did these results get looked into by the Breeding Panel in depth? I feel that it would show a very different story as to why mares
most likely lost their PTIF status.
Are you ready for this TripleV123:-
1000 mares PTIF(14days in foal)-
Race fillies(short period of the track)
mares aged(3yrs-8yrs)never having been bred
mares aged(9yrs and up)never having been bred
mares with a foal at foot(bred on foal heat)less than 12yrs old
mares with a foal at foot less than 12yrs old
mares with a foal at foot(bred on foal heat)12yrs and up
mares with a foal at foot 12yrs and up, I'm done.
Can anyone else add more of the conditions that mares are in (not so much caused by human interference) that can have an influence on their ability to hold a pregnancy,
and after looking at the results of the mares status we can then look at other reasons for the loss of PTIF.
Collecting all the relevant information to assess this correctly would be very difficult.
