Animal and environmental factors associated with gestation length in the endangered Old Kladruber horse

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Little is known about factors influencing gestation length in heavier types of horses. The objective was to assess the effects of the weight and age of mares, weight and sex of foals, lactation, month and year of conception, month of foaling, stallion and mare on gestation length in the endangered Old Kladruber breed that once served as a heavy coach horse for ceremonies of the Imperial Court in Vienna. The study was performed at the stud farm Slatinany, Czech Republic and reports data from foaling seasons between 2001 and 2018. A total of 649 gestations were included in the study. Gestation in mares weighing 680 kg and more was 1.9 days shorter than in those weighing up to 639 kg (P &lt; 0.0001). Gestation in lactating mares was 3.9 days shorter than in non-lactating mares (P &lt; 0.0001). Gestation was longest in mares conceiving in March (343.9 +- 0.60 days); thereafter it gradually shortened, with the shortest (P &lt; 0.0001) in mares conceiving in July (334.9 +- 0.90 days). Gestation length in mares increased (P &lt; 0.0001) from February foaling (340.4 +- 0.73 days) to March foaling (343.6 +- 0.55 days), and then decreased (P &lt; 0.0001) up to the end of the breeding season in June (336.7 +- 0.92 days). Year of conception had an effect on GL (P &lt; 0.02). Gestation in mares carrying male foals was 2.0 days longer than in those carrying female foals (P &lt; 0.01). Gestation in mares delivering foals weighing 70 kg and more was 1.0 days longer than in those delivering foals weighing up to 60 kg (P &lt; 0.01). Mare&apos;s age had no effect on gestation length. In conclusion, gestation length was associated with the weight of mares and foals, lactation, month and year of conception, month of foaling, and sex of foals.
