Pregnancy Diagnosis
At Vitality Veterinary Services, we prioritize accurate and timely equine pregnancy diagnosis for comprehensive, forward-thinking support. Whether you’re a seasoned breeder or expecting your first foal, our experienced veterinarians provide comprehensive pregnancy care, ensuring the best outcomes for both mare and foal.
Why Diagnose Pregnancy?
Diagnosing pregnancy is crucial for managing the health of both mare and foal throughout gestation. Early detection allows for proper nutritional adjustments, routine monitoring, and timely intervention if complications arise. It also helps plan the delivery, ensuring that both mare and foal are well-prepared for this critical moment.
Methods of Pregnancy Diagnosis
At Vitality Veterinary Services, we offer the following methods to confirm pregnancy and monitor fetal development:
Ultrasound Examination
The most accurate method for early pregnancy detection is typically performed 14-16 days after breeding.
Palpation
Manual examination is usually performed later in pregnancy to assess fetal growth and position.
Benefits of Early and Accurate Diagnosis
Detecting pregnancy early allows our veterinarians to monitor your mare’s health and provide tailored care throughout gestation. Key benefits of early equine pregnancy diagnosis include:
Nutritional Planning
Ensuring your mare receives the right nutrients to support fetal growth.
Health Monitoring
Identifying any potential complications, such as twin pregnancies, which may require special care.
Breeding Management
Confirming pregnancy allows for strategic decisions regarding future breeding plans.
