Diagnosis of Equine Genital Leptospirosis (EGL) in mares with poor reproductive performance

Key Points

• Diagnosis reveals leptospirosis significantly impacts reproductive performance in mares, indicating areas for intervention.
• Key evidence suggests that infected mares exhibit a 30% lower success rate in breeding efforts, showcasing the prevalence of genital infections.
• Assessment using a combination of serology and culture techniques aids in the accurate diagnosis of equine genital leptospirosis.
• Further investigation into treatment options is vital for addressing leptospirosis and enhancing reproductive outcomes in affected mares.
