“…49 As one would expect, in most twin gestations it is the larger twin that has the greater chance of survival, given that there is a close correlation between the chorionic surface area and fetal weight. 60,61 Hence, the twin member with less endometrial contact and less space to grow is preferentially reduced. 49…”

Twin gestation in the mare is undesirable and can have disastrous consequences. As in many cases, the key to success in twin management lies in a thorough follow‐up and accurate recording of clinical findings in the pre‐breeding examination. A pregnancy diagnosis in the mobility phase is imperative for a good outcome in the event of twin reduction. If a twin gestation is not diagnosed during this early pregnancy stage, several other procedures exist for managing post‐fixation twins (>16 days) with varying degrees of success. Most twin pregnancies are the result of multiple ovulations (dizygotic twins). However, monozygotic twins are also sporadically diagnosed, due to the increasing number of transferred in vitro produced equine embryos. In these cases, the most optimal treatment strategy still needs to be determined. This review provides an overview of the various twin reduction techniques described with the expected prognosis as well as of some less reported techniques with their results. In addition, physiological events and the reduction techniques are demonstrated to the user in virtual 3‐dimensional illustrations.
