Abstract: Endometritis, inflammation of the inner lining of uterus, can be caused by several insults. The simplicity of this definition belies the havoc it can wreak on a mare’s reproductive efficiency. Potential inciting causes include a physiologic response to foreign invasion (breeding-induced endometritis), bacterial infection, fungal infection, and an iatrogenic interference in uterus. Regardless of its source, inflammation creates an inhospitable embryonic environment.
