Abstract

Three hundred and ninety deliveries of Thoroughbred mares were observed between July, 1983 and November, 1992, with the aim of determining physiologic parameters regarding the foal. The average time for the umbilical cord rupture was 6,2 minutes. The suckling reflex was observed 36 minutes after delivery. Mean time for standing was 49 minutes, and the ones which stood within 2:23 hours didn't have adaptation problems. Mean time for the first suckling was 94 minutes, and 82,55% did it within 2 hours after birth. Elimination of meconium occurred at 127.4 minutes after delivery, 30 minutes after first suckling.
