Do all pregnant mares teats get big before labor?
yes
When horses have been pregnant for a long time how do you know how soon they are going to have the foal?
well you can tell because the mare is really breathing hard and if it is your mares first foal then you need to take her to the vet to make shure that the mare is healthy enof to have her foal.Answer. Well first off you should have taken your mare to the vet when she first got pregnant and that would have given you an idea. Now so if you have the mares DO-DATE then you will start to have an idea of when she should be having her foal. Also when your mares titts start to WAX(It gets brown stuff that looks like wax where the milk will be coming out) they will either have there foal that night or 2 nights after words. Umm lets see this usually does not happen but if your mares titts are dripping milk then the baby will be coming very soon.(THIS IS VERY INPORTANT DO NOT SQUIZE THE TITTS THAT IS HE WORST THING YOU CAN DO)
What is PMU?
PMU (pregnant mares' urine) What happens to PMU mares?For approximately six months from fall through spring, the pregnant mares live in the "pee barns," forced to stand in stalls with urine collection devices strapped to them. The stalls are deliberately narrow to prevent pregnant mares from turning around and detaching the collection cups. In the last month of their eleven-month pregnancy, the mares are put out to pasture to have their foals. The mares are put in a herd with a stallion, so they quickly become pregnant again. In September, their foals are taken away from them to be sold, whether or not they are fully weaned. The next month, they're back in the barns and the cycle starts again. The organization that represents the interests of the PMU ranchers, the North American Equine Ranching Information Council (NAERIC ), considers it "a testament to her health and strength" if a mare can have a foal each year for 20 years. Currently, approximately 7,000 PMU mares live on 73 contracted ranches in Manitoba, Canada. The minimum stall width specified in the regulations­ -- even for the largest draft breeds so commonly used -- is a mere five feet. A typical PMU ranch consists of a small family and one hired ranch hand responsible for feeding, cleaning and exercising nearly 100 pregnant mares at a time. All the mares stay in a rectangle stal from there chess to there rear end and or flanks
What is a mares reaction to a stallion mating it?
The mares do not know what is going on but that there is a stallion on her back. This is natual for a horse to do, Mares sometimes buck and get mad. And some just lay back and don't care. It is all about the mare's attitude.
When will a mare start to lactate?
The mares udder will begin to get bigger about 3 weeks before she gives birth. It will begin to swell at night and get smaller during the day. Usually, the udder will stay full and large on the day before she gives birth. Colostrum may drip from the teats. The colostrum will dry and form what looks like wax over her teats, which is where the term 'waxing' comes from. Waxing normally means that the mare will deliver her foal within 24 hours but its not uncommon for waxing to occur 2 to 3 days before the mare gives birth. When the little drops of wax fall off of the teats, milk will usually drip out and that normally means the foal will be born within 8 to 12 hours. Like women lactating and giving birth, all mares are different, so these are just general guidelines.
