Abstract
This article reviews possibilities of artificial control of the oestro us cycle in the horse. During the breeding season, oestrous can be ind uced prematurely (PGF2alpha), oestrous can be delayed (gestagens) und ovulation can be induced during oestrus (GnRH, hCG). In addition, diff erent aproaches for the induction of ovulation during the anovulatory phase in winter and during transition into the breeding season (light regimes, GnRH, hCG) are discussed. Drugs approved for hormone therapy in equine fertility practice in Germany are listed.
