How common are twin horses?

I'm not sure what the conception rate is, but I do know that twins often have to be aborted. The pair that aren't aborted will have I foal die and the other live. I think only 20% of twin foals are actually born alive.


When twin male calf are born is one or both sterile?

Fertility or sterility is not determined by birth circumstances. That is, just because an animal is born a twin, doesn't mean it will be sterile, or fertile. Being a twin has nothing to do with it.Another opinion:When twin bull calves are born neither are sterile, they're both fertile. The issue comes when the twin bull is born with a twin heifer, where there's a chance that she may be a freemartin and have a 90% chance of being sterile.


I was told two heifer calves born twins will not reproduce?

This is false. Both heifers will be reproductive later in life when they reach puberty.However, you will get a heifer that is sterile if she was born with a twin brother, not a twin sister. This is because the production of testosterone inhibits the normal production of estradiol, which decreases the heifer's ability to properly produce normal reproductive organs during the first trimester of gestation. This only occurs if both calves are sharing the same placenta. It's less likely for the heifer calf to be a freemartin or hermaphrodite if she and her brother have separate placentas, where they are fraternal twins, not maternal.

Yes, it is very common for one twin to hide behind the other and be missed on the scan.
