Book a ConsultationAbout This Procedure
Ovary manipulation is a specialised technique used by experienced equine reproductive veterinarians to address certain ovarian conditions in mares. This procedure may be recommended when a mare has persistent anovulatory follicles, ovarian cysts, or other conditions affecting her reproductive cycle.
When Is It Recommended?
Your veterinarian may recommend ovary manipulation when standard hormone treatments have not been effective, or when the mare has specific ovarian conditions that would benefit from direct intervention. A thorough reproductive examination is always performed first to determine the most appropriate course of action.
What to Expect
The procedure is performed per rectum by an experienced equine reproductive specialist. It is typically well-tolerated by mares and is performed with appropriate sedation and analgesia. Recovery is usually straightforward, and breeding can often proceed in the same cycle.
