Artificial insemination and embryo transfer are covered, as are matters of sub-fertility in mares and stallions. The authors explain the mechanics of conception, the development of the foal in the womb, and the care of the pregnant mare. Foaling and the care of the foal are covered in detail as are foaling problems, abortion, and the method of fostering orphan foals. Sound advice is provided on weaning and worming, and there is a concluding chapter on the mature horse. The book includes both glossary and index and is profusely illustrated with excellent and informative photographs, many in colour, plus line drawings., An enlarged and completely updated edition of a standard textbook widely used by students and professionals alike throughout the equine industry. This classic work covers the management of mares and stallions, conception, pregnancy, foaling, the care of the foal, youngsters, and breeding stock.
