Dr.O,


In the article on twins(going full gestation) it said that the chances for a single healthy foal is about 10%. What is the percentage of twin foals that are BOTH born healthy and survive?

Thanks,

Gail

Though I have not seen a number it is less than the 10% figure. We have seen 3 sets of healthy twins born in the past 22 years.
