Body Weight and Condition of Kentucky Thoroughbred Mares and Their Foals as Influenced by Month of Foaling and Season
Several studies have assessed the effect of birth month and season on foal body weight; however, none of these studies evaluated the effect of season on changes in body weight or body condition in the lactating mare. Thoroughbred mares (n=3,909) and their foals were weighed monthly to assess the influence of month of foaling, season, […]
