Abstract

Endometrial biopsy in the horse is an important technique for maintaining breeding soundness by detecting changes related with reduced fertility and monitoring response to specific uterine therapy. A 13-year-old thoroughbred mare had been in trouble with repeated breeding for getting pregnant before the sample of endometrial biopsy was offered to investigate the possibility of pregnancy in the future. Based on the tissue sections examined, the prognosis for this mare to conceive and successfully carry a foal to term was estimated to be 10 to 50%.

말에서 자궁내막생검기술은 저하된 번식력과 관련된 자궁내막의 변화상을 관찰하고 자궁치료의 효과를 체크하는데 있어 중요한 산과적 기술이라 할 수 있다. 13세령의 더러브레드종의 암말은 오랜 동안 임신에 실패하였으며 이로 인해 차후의 임신가능성 진단을 위하여 자궁내막생검 의뢰를 받았다. 조직 생검을 통해서 이 말이 앞으로 성공적인 임신과 출산을 할 확률은 10-50%로 진단되었다.
