In 2008, Morris Animal Foundation will fund nearly 200 new and continuing studies for dogs, cats, horses, llamas/alpacas, and wildlife as well as more than 40 veterinary student projects.

We also have numerous studies nearing completion. You can search our current study database by species and/or disease to learn more about the studies we are funding in the areas you care most about. The results will also show you whether a study is available for sponsorship.

Year: 1 of 1. $3,000

Efficient control of the mare's estrous cycle is of paramount importance for breeding efficiency and is also important for show horses, who often must receive long-term hormones to control their cycles. In this study, the student hopes to improve the use of a proven and safe drug so that it more efficiently manipulates the mare estrous cycle. The team will analyze the use of short-term hormonal therapies that may be able to control the mare's estrous cycle as efficiently as the prolonged hormonal therapies that are currently used.
