Twelve mares were allowed to foal naturally, after which they were monitored to study uterine involution. Starting on day 3 after parturition, the internal genital tract was examined per rectum manually and ultrasonographically every other day for changes in uterine characteristics and ovarian activity. By day 5, gravid and nongravid uterine horns were similar in size, and by day 7, uterine fluid was absent. On day 7 after parturition, endometrial biopsy samples were obtained for histologic evaluation, and uterine swab specimens were obtained for microbiologic culture. Uterine swab specimens from 10 of 12 mares had slight bacterial growth. The uteri of 8 of the 12 mares were histologically involuted by day 7. All mares ovulated 7 to 12 days after parturition. Concentrations of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGF2 alpha (PGFM) were measured in jugular plasma samples obtained daily for 21 days after parturition. Concentrations of PGFM were low by the day after parturition, and there was no significant correlation between uterine involution and PGFM concentrations in these mares. All 12 mares were bred at the first estrus after parturition, and 9 became pregnant.
