Correction to “Reproductive success in thoroughbred broodmares post large colon resection or colopexy”
In the final two sentences of the 'Results' section, the text "In Group R, the first breeding season post-resection (5 foals out of 18 mares served, 27.8%), showed significantly less success than the second breeding season post resection (10 foals out of 14 mares served, 71.4%; Fisher's exact p = 0.03; Odds Ratio 0.17 (95% CI 0.024-0.90)).However, in Group P, the first breeding season post-surgery showed the same success rates as the second (5 foals out of 7 mares served, 71.4% in both seasons) and both groups achieved the same proportion of foals to number of mares bred in their second season (71.4%)."contained several errors.This should have read: "In Group R, the first breeding season post-resection (5 foals out of 17 live mares, 29.4%), showed significantly less success than the second breeding season post resection (10 foals out of 14 live mares, 71.4%; Fisher's exact p = 0.03; Odds Ratio 0.18 (95% CI 0.026-0.98)).However, in Group P, the first breeding season post-surgery showed the same success rates as the second (5 foals out of 7 live mares, 71.4% in both seasons) and both groups achieved the same proportion of foals to number of live mares in their second season (71.4%)."We apologize for this error.
