The site of an endometrial biopsy in a mare, four days after the procedure; a normal situation.
The endometrium in this case was devoid of inflammation and the site of biopsy was already difficult
to identify macroscopically. Although a small amount of hemorrhage usually occurs at
the site of biopsy, even 24 hours later it has healed well enough to allow
insemination. Therefore, should the need arise, an endometrial biopsy can be
taken during the estrous period during which breeding is planned.
