| 中文描述 | 約5%的公馬有母馬妊娠時期之公畜行為,尤其在懷孕4-5個月時.此被認為是因為嬰兒胎盤製造出比平常多的雄性素所致.可能和顆粒膜細胞腫瘤混淆,尤其當懷孕時的卵巢腫大導致附屬黃體.此腫大發生在懷孕45-100天,且通常是雙側性.獸醫師應小心別把此正常腫大和卵巢腫瘤混淆而誤把他切除. |
| 英文描述 | About 5% of mares develop male behavior during pregnancy, particularly at 4-5 months of gestation. Believed to be due to high levels of testosterone normally produced by the fetoplacental unit. This may be confused with behavior caused by a granulosa-theca cell tumor, particularly as ovarian enlargement often occurs during pregnancy as a result of accessory corpora lutea. This enlargement occurs between days 45 and 100, and is usually bilateral. The veterinarian should be aware of this to avoid confusing these large normal ovaries with ovarian tumors and removing them by mistake. |
