During the 1988 breeding season, 1341 breeding cycles were evaluated on 905 Thoroughbred mares (141 maidens [M], 204 barren [B], 560 lactating [L]) aged 2-22 yr. The effect of the following variables on early pregnancy and foal production were analyzed using a general linear model system: age, mare status, uterine culture and cytology, uterine biopsy score, Caslick's operation, treatment, cycle, and farm nutrition. Mares were randomly allocated to one of three treatment groups. Group 1 mares were controls (40 M, 50 B, 140 L). Mares in groups 2 [51 M, 84 B, 210 L] and 3 [50 M, 70 B, 210 L]) were infused once 12-36 h after breeding with either procaine penicillin, neomycin sulphate, and 20 ml sterile normal saline (group 2) or with procaine penicillin, neomycin sulphate, and 90 ml of autologous plasma (group 3). Lactating mares treated with plasma and antibiotics had a significantly higher (p < 0.05) early pregnancy rate per cycle (14-16 days postbreeding) than did control mares (group 1) and mares treated with antibiotics alone (group 2) (67 ± 4.8%, 53 ± 5.4%, 57 ± 4.4%, respectively). Neither antibiotics (group 2) nor plasma and antibiotics (group 3) affected the pregnancy rate per cycle in maiden mares. In the barren mares, results tended (p < 0.09) to show that autologous plasma and antibiotics (group 3) after breeding was more effective than no treatment (group 1, 75 ± 7.9% vs. 66 ± 6.1%) or antibiotics alone (group 2, 67 ± 5.7%). This study shows that the addition of autologous plasma to an antibiotic therapy used after breeding improves pregnancy rates per cycle for lactating and barren mares.
