The aim of the study was to investigate the possible effects of uterine lavage and oxytocin administration during foal heat on fertility parameters such as length of ovulation periods, pregnancy rates and rates of early embryonic death. The expected hypothesis was that the combination of uterine lavage and oxytocin administration performed 4 h before and 4 h after breeding in foal heat would shorten the interval between parturition and first ovulation, increase pregnancy rates and decrease early embryonic death rates.

Most of the studies demonstrate that pregnancy and early embryonic death rates of non-cyclic recipient mares are similar to those of cyclic recipients, and thus can be successfully used in ET programs (CARNEVALE et al., 2000; ROCHA FILHO et al., 2004; GRECO et al., 2012; SILVA et al., 2014).
