Factors affecting the Length of Gestation in Artificially Inseminated Marwari Mares of India

Conclusions From the current study it can be concluded that the true average gestation length for Marwari foals born is 344.1 ± 0.49 days. The range of gestation lengths was found to be 315–388 days all resulting in viable foals. The length of gestation is not significantly affected by age and parity of the mare. The only factors significantly affecting gestation length are foal gender and month of foaling (P <0.05).
