Equine Reproductive System Tim Heckart In exploring the reproductive system of the horse we must first understand that this system is made up of physical structures and hormonal or chemical secretions‚ actions‚ and reactions. While the physical structures are readily identifiable‚ the hormonal systems are a bit more obscure. Some of these hormonal actions and reactions are still not fully understood today. We begin with the delivery of a Filly. At this stage in her life she already has all

Most other vertebrate animals have generally similar reproductive systems consisting of gonads‚ ducts‚ and openings. Human reproduction
