Abstract: Knudsen, A., Pye, J., Marsh, J. (2024) Reproductive success in thoroughbred broodmares post large colon resection or colopexy. Equine Veterinary Education, 36: 82–83. https://doi.org/10.1111/eve.115_14008. In the final two sentences of the ‘Results’ section, the text “In Group R, the first breeding season post-resection (5 foals out of 18 mares served, 27.8%), showed significantly less success than the second breeding season post resection (10 foals out of 14 mares served, 71.4%; Fisher's exact p = 0.03; Odds Ratio 0.17 (95% CI 0.024–0.90)). However, in Group P, the first breeding season post-surgery showed the same success rates as the second (5 foals out of 7 mares served, 71.4% in both seasons) and both groups achieved the same proportion of foals to number of mares bred in their second season (71.4%).” contained several errors. This should have read: “In Group R, the first breeding season post-resection (5 foals out of 17 live mares, 29.4%), showed significantly less success than the second breeding season post resection (10 foals out of 14 live mares, 71.4%; Fisher's exact p = 0.03; Odds Ratio 0.18 (95% CI 0.026–0.98)). However, in Group P, the first breeding season post-surgery showed the same success rates as the second (5 foals out of 7 live mares, 71.4% in both seasons) and both groups achieved the same proportion of foals to number of live mares in their second season (71.4%).” We apologize for this error.
