  2. Estrous cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estrous_cycle

    Estrous cycle variability differs among species, but cycles are typically more frequent in smaller animals. Even within species significant variability can be observed, thus cats may undergo an estrous cycle of 3 to 7 weeks. [15] Domestication can affect estrous cycles due to changes in the environment.

  3. Horse breeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_breeding

    The cycle is controlled by several hormones which regulate the estrous cycle, the mare's behavior, and the reproductive system of the mare. The cycle begins when the increased day length causes the pineal gland to reduce the levels of melatonin, thereby allowing the hypothalamus to secrete GnRH.

  4. Mare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare

    The estrous cycle, also known as "season" or "heat" of a mare occurs roughly every 19–22 days and occurs from early spring into autumn. As the days shorten, most mares enter an anestrus period during the winter and thus do not cycle in this period.

  6. Menstruation (mammal) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menstruation_(mammal)

    Many zoologists regard this as different from a "true" menstrual cycle. Female domestic animals used for breeding—for example dogs, pigs, cattle, or horses—are monitored for physical signs of an estrous cycle period, which indicates that the animal is ready for insemination.

  7. Rut (mammalian reproduction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rut_(mammalian_reproduction)

    The second breeding phase of the rut takes place three to four weeks after the first breeding phase. This is due to younger cows coming into estrus, as well as older cows that were not bred on their first estrus cycle coming back into estrus. Herd bulls are less aggressive towards satellite bulls at this phase in the rut due to exhaustion. [14]

  8. Jeju horse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeju_horse

    Jeju horses belong to long day breeders, whose mating occurs from March to August in Jeju. The estrous cycle is 20 to 24 days (e.g. 22 days on average), and the estrus usually lasts 4 to 11 days (e.g. 7 days on average). Within 7 to 10 days (e.g. 8 days on average) after delivery, the mare undergoes another estrus, which reoccurs every 22 days.

  9. Taylorella equigenitalis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylorella_equigenitalis

    The clinical signs associated with Taylorella equigenitalis infections in mares include abnormally cloudy vaginal or cervical discharge, vulvar inflammation, increased size and hardness of the ovaries and uterus upon rectal palpation, as well as abnormalities in the length and/or stages of the mare's estrous cycle.
