When was Conceptus Inc. created?
Conceptus Inc. was created in 1992.
What is the main caused of unembryonic pregnancy?
chromosomal abnormalities of the conceptus
When you hand check a horse what are you feeling for to confirm a pregnancy?
Palpation checks for uterine tone, cervical tone, follicles on ovaries and the presence of a conceptus in the uterine body. High uterine tone and a tightly closed cervix, no large developing follicles are indicative of pregnancy especially if they persist 20 days post breeding. The veterinarian may or may not be able to determine the presence of a conceptus at the time of the pregnancy check depending on the time post ovualtion (size of the conceptus) and their experience and skill.
What is site of implantation?
Fertilization in humans. The sperm and ovum unite through fertilization, creating a conceptus that (over the course of 8-9 days) will implant in the uterine wall, where it will reside over the course of 9 months.In humans , implantation is the very early stage of pregnancy at which the conceptus adheres to the wall of the uterus. At this stage of prenataldevelopment, the conceptus is a blastocyst. It is by this adhesion that the foetus receives oxygen and nutrients from the mother to be able to grow.In humans, implantation of a fertilized ovum is most likely to occur about 9 days after ovulation, ranging between 6 and 12 days.
Why is EMBRyO white and not black does this mean it is a non-viable pregnancy in my mare?
Since I have to assume you are seeing an ultrasound...the answer is no...it is not a nonviable pregnancy...in early pregnancy the conceptus in a horse is a circular ball that looks black in the center because it is fluid filled...as the conceptus changes into an embryo and subsequently a fetus it be comes white because the tissue is hyper-echoic (white) as opposed to hypo-echoic (black) fluid.
Where does a horse embryo gets its food?
Before placental development the conceptus gets nutrition from uterine secretions. After placentation nutrition comes from the mare via the placenta.
What are the possible Consequences if only one is implanted?
This is an interestingly general question. The normal consequence of only one egg implanted is one offspring. In many animals the production of one conceptus that, overtime, develops into an offspring. This assumes that the reference to implantation means the point at which the conceptus stops migrating around the uterus and becomes "fixed" at a single location until fetoplacental development results in a free floating fetus attached by an umbilicus to the placenta.

How do you abort horse fetus?
There are several methods a veterinarian can use to abort a conceptus/fetus. Saline injection into the heart, prostiglandin injection to the mare before 35 days post conception, a series of prostiglandin injections after day 35. Unimplanted concepti can be moved and crushed against the pelvic brim (often used to reduce one conceptus when there are twins). Procedures become more complicated and dangerous as pregnancy progresses. Once the safety of the mare comes into question it is probably advisable to allow her to foal and either have the foal euthanized or find a willing adopter.
