| Abstract: | Many factors influence the reproductive efficiency of thoroughbred mares. This thesis
estimated two separate models for 13 farms in the 2004 breeding season. One model is
estimated for pregnancy outcomes, the other is estimated for breeding intervals.
Statistically significant variables include age of the mare, number of breedings, certain
medications, farm size, last date of breeding for the first model. Statistically significant
variables for the second model include age, status of mare, number of breedings, certain
medication, and farm size. The model has implication to achieve an optimal breeding
schedule and associated management decisions |
