摘要： Simple Summary Pregnancy loss is a major economic concern for the equine industry. It can be caused by both infectious agents (equine herpesvirus, bacteria, fungi, and parasites) and non-infectious factors (like twin pregnancies, endocrine disorders, and umbilical cord torsion). The increasing number of large-scale donkey breeding operations in China has brought attention to these reproductive challenges. To prevent pregnancy loss and maintain the overall health and productivity of horses, early detection, proper management, and control measures are crucial.Abstract Equine breeding plays an essential role in the local economic development of many countries, and it has experienced rapid growth in China in recent years. However, the equine industry, particularly large-scale donkey farms, faces a significant challenge with pregnancy losses. Unfortunately, there is a lack of systematic research on abortion during equine breeding. Several causes, both infectious and non-infectious, of pregnancy losses have been documented in equines. The infectious causes are viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. Non-infectious causes may include long transportation, ingestion of mycotoxins, hormonal disturbances, twinning, placentitis, umbilical length and torsion, etc. In current review, we discuss the transmission routes, diagnostic methods, and control measures for these infectious agents. Early detection of the cause and appropriate management are crucial in preventing pregnancy loss in equine practice. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the potential causes of abortion in equines, including infectious agents and non-infectious factors. It emphasizes the importance of continued research and effective control measures to address this significant challenge in the equine industry.
