Breeding Horse

Mare & Foal Check Pack

Progesterone for the mare, IgG for the newborn foal, and a CBC, for breeding stables.

3 tests in one package · Sample: Serum + whole blood (EDTA)

The Mare & Foal Check Pack covers two stages of horse breeding. Progesterone helps a vet judge a mare's breeding cycle and plan when to breed. The foal IgG test shows whether a newborn foal took in enough protection from the mare's first milk, and a CBC checks general health. The tests are on different animals, and your vet chooses the ones that fit. A registered veterinarian reads the results together with the animal's signs and history.

Tests inside this package

Equine progesterone

Equine progesterone measures the hormone progesterone in a mare's blood. It can help your vet judge where the mare is in her breeding cycle and plan when to breed.

Canine & Feline Specific AssaysSample: Serum (plain)
Foal IgG (passive transfer) test

The foal IgG test measures IgG antibodies in a young foal's blood to show whether it took in enough protection from the mare's first milk. It can help your vet decide if the foal needs extra care.

Canine & Feline Specific AssaysSample: Serum (plain)
CBC

A CBC counts the red cells, white cells and platelets in a blood sample and can help show anaemia (low red cells), infection or inflammation (the body's reaction to injury). It suits dogs, cats, cows and buffaloes.

HaematologySample: Whole blood (EDTA)Single test: ₹400

Questions about this package

Do the mare and foal need separate samples?

Yes. Each animal is bled separately. Your vet chooses which tests to book for the mare and which for the foal.

Why check a foal's IgG?

A foal is born with very few antibodies and gets them from the mare's first milk. The test shows whether enough were absorbed. Your vet decides what to do next.

Can progesterone tell if a mare is pregnant?

Not on its own. Pregnancy is confirmed by a scan or other tests. Progesterone helps a vet judge the cycle and hormone support.

Packages support your veterinarian’s decisions; they do not replace an examination. A registered veterinarian should read the results together with your animal’s signs and history.
