Warmblood fragile foal syndrome: Pregnancy loss in Warmblood mares

Fragile foal syndrome (FFS) or warmblood FFS Type 1 (WFFS) is a recessive, autosomal, hereditary, genetic defect causing late abortions, stillbirths and non-viable foals. Whether early pregnancy losses occur is unknown. To investigate how WFFS affects pregnancies and whether early pregnancy losses o...

Whether early pregnancy losses occur is unknown. To investigate how WFFS affects pregnancies and whether early pregnancy losses occur in WFFS matings and if there is a difference in pregnancy success between matings where both parents were allele carriers and those where only mare or stallion were WFFS carriers. Retrospective cohort study. Breeding records from a Warmblood stud farm were evaluated (2016-2019) and 2682 cycles of 177 mares analysed. Matings were assigned to four study groups, depending on the WFFS carrier status of the mare and stallion: N/WFFS × N/WFFS (n = 46), N/WFFS (mares) × N/N (n = 511), N/N × N/WFFS (stallions) (n = 191) and N/N × N/N (n = 2149). There were no differences in pregnancy rates between matings with only one WFFS carrier and those with non-carriers. When comparing N/WFFS × N/WFFS matings to those with only one or no WFFS-carrier, there were no increased pregnancy losses in the embryonic phase (day
