Reproductive failure in mares can present a challenge to the attending veterinarian. Although many causes of failure to conceive or to carry to term may be easy to diagnose and treat effectively, others may be difficult. In some cases, more than one problem will be present, and both medical therapy and surgical intervention will be required to achieve a successful outcome. Pneumovagina and its sequelae remain a common cause of reproductive failure in mares. Depending on the case involved, different surgical techniques may be required to correct the problem.
母马的繁殖失败会给主治兽医带来挑战。尽管许多导致无法受孕或足月妊娠的原因可能易于诊断并有效治疗，但其他原因可能较为棘手。在某些情况下，会存在不止一个问题，需要药物治疗和手术干预才能取得成功的结果。阴道积气及其后遗症仍然是母马繁殖失败的常见原因。根据具体病例，可能需要不同的手术技术来解决问题。
