Equine breeding plays an essential role in the local economic development of many countries, and it has experienced rapid growth in China in recent years. However, the equine industry, particularly large-scale donkey farms, faces a significant challenge with pregnancy losses. Unfortunately, there is a lack of systematic research on abortion during equine breeding. Several causes, both infectious and non-infectious, of pregnancy losses have been documented in equines. The infectious causes are viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Non-infectious causes may include long transportation, ingestion of mycotoxins, hormonal disturbances, twinning, placentitis, umbilical length and torsion, etc. In current review, we discuss the transmission routes, diagnostic methods, and control measures for these infectious agents. Early detection of the cause and appropriate management are crucial in preventing pregnancy loss in equine practice. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential causes of abortion in equines, including infectious agents and non-infectious factors. It emphasizes the importance of continued research and effective control measures to address this significant challenge in the equine industry.
马匹繁育在许多国家的地方经济发展中起着至关重要的作用，近年来在中国也经历了快速增长。然而，养马业，尤其是大型养驴场，面临着妊娠损失的重大挑战。不幸的是，目前缺乏关于马匹繁育过程中流产的系统性研究。已记录到马匹妊娠损失的多种原因，包括传染性和非传染性因素。传染性原因有病毒、细菌、寄生虫和真菌。非传染性原因可能包括长途运输、摄入霉菌毒素、激素紊乱、双胎妊娠、胎盘炎、脐带长度和扭转等。在本综述中，我们讨论了这些传染因子的传播途径、诊断方法和控制措施。在马匹繁育实践中，尽早发现病因并进行适当管理对于预防妊娠损失至关重要。本综述旨在全面了解马匹流产的潜在原因，包括传染因子和非传染性因素。它强调了持续研究和有效控制措施对于应对养马业这一重大挑战的重要性。
