“…These findings were similar to the reports of Panchal et al (1995) for Kathiawari horses. The estimate of age at first foaling was lower than the reports of Hevia et al (1995) for thoroughbred horses. The means of herd life and productive life were 6 499±650 and 4 546±596 days respectively, however both observations were based on small sample size.…”

SummaryThe breeding tract of Kathiawari horses is the Saurashtra region of Gujrat, comprising of the Rajkot, Bhavnagar, Surendranagar, Junagarh and Amreli districts. Kathiawari horses are reared for carting, riding, sports and transportation. The breed is closely related with the Marwari breed of Rajasthan. The most predominant body colour is chestnut in Kathiawari horses and black in Marwari horses. The capital nags of the Kathiawari breed are from 14 to 14.5 HH, sound, sure footed and hardy, fast and decidedly good looking. The herd size at farmer level varied from 1 to 4. In the study an attempt has been made to note the physical characteristics and management practices for rearing these horses in the breeding tract. Body measurement of Kathiawari and Marwari horses were recorded. It was observed that Kathiawari horses had a smaller body, shorter height, smaller heart girth, ears and face than the Marwari horses. The performance of the Kathiawari breed under intensive management was studied. The average age at first fertile service, and at first foaling, herd life, total foals during lifetime, gestation period, service period and foaling interval were 1 658±79 days, 1 989±80 days, 6 499±650 days, 4.93±0.52 foals, 333.58±1.76 days, 257.23±46.49 days and 597.76±49.70 days, respectively.

“…Many other authors have studied the effect of sex of the foal on equine gestation length (Gerger, 1960;Matassino, 1962;Pjanovic, 1965;Kodagali, 1973;Akkayan and Demirtel, 1974;Hintz et al, 1979a;Schermerhorn et al, 1980;Hevia et al, 1994;Panchal et al, 1995;, and found statistically significant differences, with colt gestations being from 1.7 to 7 days longer.…”

“…The main environmental factors influencing gestation period are related to age of the mother, nutrition, sex of the foal, year and month of conception, season of conception and photoperiod (Staffe, 1935;Mauch, 1937;Howell and Rollins, 1951;Pozo-Lora, 1954;Flade and Frederich, 1963;Hevia et al, 1994;Panchal et al, 1995;Davies-Morel et al, 2002;Vassilev et al, 2002). Nevertheless, other factors have been studied, such as the colour of coat (Dring et al, 1981;Blesa et al, 1999) or the influence of moon phase (Blesa et al, 1999), even though the results were not significant.…”

“…It is accepted that male-product pregnancies are slightly longer (2-3 days of mean) than female counterparts (Zwolinski 1964, Rophila et al 1969, Roberts 1986, Hintz et al 1992, Hevia et al 1994, Marteniuk et al 1998, Davies-Morel et al 2002, Pérez et al 2003, Satué 2004, Sevinga et al 2004, Valera et al 2006, Cilek 2009, Sharma and Dhaliwal 2010. Despite theses differences, Valera et al (2006) showed that gender only accounts for 0.430% of the total variation of GL in Andalusian broodmares.…”

The length of gestation in Carthusian broodmares was calculated on the basis of 339 spontaneous full-term deliveries taking place in the 8-year period 1998-2005 from 158 broodmares and 29 stallions in a major farm of Spanish horses of Carthusian strain in southern Spain. Ultrasonography was used to determine follicular dehiscence, 1 st day of pregnancy and to confirm conception in mares. Mean GL was 332.4 ± 12
