Hydrocephalus (HDC) is an abnormal build up of cerebral spinal fluid around the brain. It is believed that a narrowed passage within the brain prevents normal fluid absorption, leading to an obvious external cranial distension. Affected foals are often stillborn and are associated with dystocia in the dams.
Impaired Acrosomal Reaction Subfertility (IAR) causes sub- or infertility in males. In normal fertilization, the the head of a sperm binds to the egg and releases the contents of a structure known as the acrosome. However, some males with IAR are unable to properly carry out this process.
