Endometritis in Mares – How bActivate Can Improve Fertility

Endometritis is one of the most common causes of infertility in mares, leading to repeated failed pregnancies and a higher risk of early embryonic loss. If your mare is struggling to conceive or maintain a pregnancy, a bacterial imbalance in the uterus could be the underlying issue.

What is Endometritis?

Endometritis is inflammation of the uterine lining, often caused by bacteria such as Streptococcus zooepidemicus (Strep zoo), E. coli, or Klebsiella pneumoniae. It can be classified as either acute or chronic and is typically triggered by:

🔸 Natural breeding or artificial insemination
🔸 Poor uterine clearance mechanisms
🔸 Retained fluid or post-foaling complications

A mare suffering from chronic bacterial endometritis may become barren, meaning she fails to conceive despite multiple breeding attempts.

How Does Endometritis Affect Fertility?

Mares with endometritis often struggle to clear bacteria and inflammatory debris from the uterus, leading to:

❌ Low conception rates
❌ Early embryonic loss
❌ Persistent uterine infections

While traditional treatments such as antibiotics and uterine flushes are commonly used, they can disrupt the natural uterine microbiome and may not provide long-term solutions.

Bactivate – A Natural Solution for Uterine Health

Bactivate is a biological treatment designed to support a healthy uterine microbiome, reducing harmful bacteria and promoting an environment that supports conception and pregnancy.
