About This Book

The manual provides practical, illustrated guidance for handling the mare and foal during labor, describing normal fetal position, stages of gestation, common malpresentations, and step-by-step interventions for emergencies. It explains fetal membranes, umbilical circulation, timing expectations, and immediate care to prevent suffocation and preserve mare and foal life. Additional sections address related bovine issues, including calving, treatment of stallion and mare venereal infections, and colts' diarrhea and constipation. Emphasizing accessible instruction for farmers and breeders, it aims to equip the first attendant with diagnostic observations and corrective procedures when veterinary help is unavailable.
