Abstract :

In order to characterize fertility in equine breeds in Algeria, we have studied and compared two parameters; anatomical (follicular growth) and livestock (fertility) between the two main equine breeds Barbe and Arabian horses; they are raised in the same culture conditions at the Tiaret National Stud in season 2011. A sample of 13 and 37 mares Barbe breed and Arabian breed respectively, whose average age is between 5 and 25 years, followed by an ultrasound device. On the 5th day after foaling, all mares are passed to the system. We inspected both ovaries to see if there is a large follicle and check uterine involution, this allows us to proceed or not to the projection of mares. Ultrasound results for mares Barbe and Arabian breed showed a fertility rate of 42.85% vs. 34.48%, respectively. The subsequent average diameter of pre-ovulatory follicles is 41.82 vs. 45.48 mm, influenced by a combinatorial effect of race and age (P <0.001). Optimization of fertility postpartum cycles involves the mastery of the factors cited previously.
