Multivariable analysis to determine risk factors associated with abortion in mares (2022)
Journal Article
Roach, J., Arango-Sabogal, Smith, K., Foote, Verheyen, & de Mestre, M. (2022). Multivariable analysis to determine risk factors associated with abortion in mares. Reproduction and Fertility, https://doi.org/10.1530/RAF-22-0087

Risk factors associated with equine reproductive efficiency have been identified along with those associated specifically with early pregnancy loss (EPL). In contrast, no studies have reported risk factors associated with abortion (loss between day 7... Read More about Multivariable analysis to determine risk factors associated with abortion in mares.

Mixed-Effects Modelling of the Risk Factors Associated with Multiple Pregnancies in Thoroughbred Mares (2022)
Journal Article
Salem, S. E., Sinnott, A., Roach, J. M., Verheyen, K. L. P., & de Mestre, A. M. (in press). Mixed-Effects Modelling of the Risk Factors Associated with Multiple Pregnancies in Thoroughbred Mares. Animals, 12(14), 1841. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani12141841

Multiple pregnancies (MPs) are commonly diagnosed during breeding management of mares. Whilst some studies have reported on factors associated with the risk of MPs, few have utilised multivariable data analysis to control for confounding variables. A...

First reported case of fragile foal syndrome type 1 in the Thoroughbred caused by PLOD1 c.2032G>A (2021)
Journal Article
Grillos, A., Roach, J., de Mestre, A., Foote, A., Kinglsey, N., Mienaltowski, M., & Bellone, R. (in press). First reported case of fragile foal syndrome type 1 in the Thoroughbred caused by PLOD1 c.2032G>A. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13547

Background Warmblood Fragile Foal Syndrome Type 1 (WFFS) is an autosomal recessive disorder reported previously only in warmbloods and thought to be caused by a variant in the gene procollagen-lysine,2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 1 (PLOD1, c.2032G>A,...

Incidence and causes of pregnancy loss after day 70 of gestation in Thoroughbreds (2020)
Journal Article
Roach, J., Foote, A., Smith, K., Verheyen, K., & de Mestre, A. (in press). Incidence and causes of pregnancy loss after day 70 of gestation in Thoroughbreds. Equine Veterinary Journal, https://doi.org/10.1111/evj.13386

Background Pregnancy loss after day 70 of gestation manifests as abortion, stillbirth or perinatal death. While previous studies have reported the diagnoses of laboratory submissions, none have quantified the incidence and causes of abortions, still...

Journal Article
Rose, B. V., Firth, M. J., Morris, B., Roach, J. M., Wathes, D. C., Verheyen, K. L. P., & De Mestre, A. M. (2017). Descriptive study of current therapeutic practices, clinical reproductive findings and incidence of pregnancy loss in intensively managed thoroughbred mares. Animal Reproduction Science, 188, 74-84. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anireprosci.2017.11.011

Therapeutic practices in equine reproductive medicine have dramatically evolved over the last 20 years but current usage is not described. The aims of this study were to provide a description of medication use and clinical findings of reproductive ex...
