Characterization of Typical Behaviors of Mares in the Opening Phase of Parturition—Influence of Parity and Dystocia by Hannah Lindinger, Axel Wehrend

“…Behaviors such as increased locomotor activity, pawing with front hooves, lifting the tail, rolling, kicking with the hind legs toward the abdomen, and looking at the abdomen increased significantly (<i>p</i> < 0.001) in the four hours preceding parturition. Within the last hour of the observation period, a statistically significant change was observed for the duration of lying in the sternal and lateral position (<i>p</i> < 0.001). …”

Detection of foaling using a tail-attached device with a thermistor and tri-axial accelerometer in pregnant mares by Takahiro Aoki, Makoto Shibata, Guilherme Violin, Shogo Higaki, Koji Yoshioka

“…The hourly sensor data with a lower ST (LST < 35.5°C), a recumbent posture determined by the roll angle, and tail-raising (TR, decline of 200 mg or more from the reference value in y-axis acceleration) was significantly higher during the last hour prepartum than 2−120 hours before parturition (P < 0.01). …”
