Within a group of 130 mares which, in the event, carried twin pregnancies, 29 (22.3 per cent) produced their twins following diagnosis of a single palpable follicle at service and a single pregnancy 42 days later. The whole group of 130 twin-pregnant mares gave birth to only 17 live foals (13 per cent). Breeding results for the following season were available for 102 of these mares, when 38 (37 per cent) produced live foals. Thus over the two seasons an average 23 per cent of this group produced live foals. In a second group, comprising 70 mares, twin pregnancy had been diagnosed in all of them by rectal palpation. Five methods of treatment were then applied to five subgroups of mares and 20 (28 per cent) of the 70 mares produced live foals that season. Breeding results for the following season were available for 53 of these mares; 33 (61 per cent) then produced live foals. Thus over the two seasons an average 46 per cent of the treated group produced live foals. The administration of a prostaglandin analogue at less than 35 days of gestation was outstandingly successful as a method of treatment.
