Description Not Available
The present study was undertaken to record the data on duration of estrus, estrus cycle length, size of the follicle
at ovulation, period of gestation and estrus after foaling (foal heat) in respect of Zanskari mares for 4 consecutive
breeding seasons (2010–2014). The mares were closely monitored with transrectal ultrasonography for their follicle
size variation and to determine size of the follicle at ovulation. The mares were inseminated with frozen thawed
semen from Zanskari stallions. This is the first time ever that Zanskari stallion semen was cryopreserved successfully
and viable foals were produced by using frozen semen via artificial insemination. The reproductive parameters of
the mares of Zanskari breed in India are poorly investigated and thus no reports are available on reproductive
characteristics of Zanskari breed till today in the literature. Our results can be useful as a ready reference for some
of the reproductive characteristics and traits of Zanskari breed as well as indigenous horses reared under tropical
region. The reproductive parameters analysed in the present study are fitting within the characteristics of the other
Indian horse breeds reared under this region and the differences may be caused by breed effect and other
environmental factors.
