Evaluation of the Effect of Seminal Plasma in the Post Insemination Uterine Inflammatory Dynamic by Power Doppler Ultrasonography and Low Volume Lavage in the Mare

A modulatory role on the uterine inflammation has been suggested for equine seminal plasma (SP). The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of SP in the uterine inflammation after artificial insemination (AI) by ultrasonography, Power Doppler ultrasonography and low volume lavage (LVL) techniques. AI was performed in twelve cycles from eight reproductive-healthy mares. Two groups were established: group A (AI with SP, n=7) and group B (AI without SP, n=5). Three stallions were used in both groups in order to avoid the individual male factor.
