Mare reproductive loss syndrome (MRLS) is a syndrome consisting of equine abortions and three related nonreproductive syndromes which occur in horses of all breeds, sexes, and ages.

There are thus three requirements for this disease to occur:
A symptomatic mare can be identified by the mucus and pus being expelled from her vagina; CEM mares experience an inflamed endometrium causing low fertility and if pregnant a high probability for abortion in the first trimester. [8] Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the disease are crucial to managing T. equigenitalis.

Double-cream dilutes such as cremello, perlinos, and smoky creams, have cream-colored coats, blue eyes, and pink skin ...
