Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Although the survival rate of critically ill foals has improved over the last decades, prompt recognition, immediate intervention and, whenever possible, prevention of neonatal diseases remain crucial to saving foals’ lives. Neonatal health is strongly linked to the foetal and perinatal period, particularly the last weeks of pregnancy, parturition and the first hours of a foal’s life. Continuously enhancing our understanding of equine perinatology is therefore of utmost importance. It will help veterinarians to optimise neonatal care and further increase foal survival, setting the foundations for a healthy life and successful performance.
We are therefore excited to invite authors to submit original manuscripts, review articles and selected case reports and case series addressing any aspect of equine perinatal and neonatal care. Topics of interest include high-risk pregnancy and foetal monitoring, perinatal physiology and pathophysiology, parturition, neonatal care and neonatal intensive treatment.
