Aspects of Genetics and Disease in the Horse^{1 ,2,}

University of California, Davis 95616

Abstract

Dead or deformed foals produced by purebred parents represent an economic and emotional loss to the horse breeder. To avoid repeating production of such defective foals, the breeder may seek assistance in identifying the possible environmental or genetic causes for such animals. Only a few genetic diseases of the horse have been rigorously defined. Selected, rare genetic diseases that prevent reproduction, cause the natural death or necessitate the humane destruction of a foal before it fulfills its intended purpose serve as examples for the definition of genetics of other deleterious diseases in the horse.

¹ Presented at a symposium on horse genetics held at the 71st Annu. Meet, of the ASAS, July 30, 1979, Univ. of Arizona, Tucson.
