Many stallions lead largely solitary lives, but it need not be that way, the authors of a just-published review have concluded.
Researchers with the Free University of Berlin concluded that many stallions could be kept safely in groups, provided key conditions are met.
“It only poses a risk for injuries if the necessary requirements for this type of husbandry are not taken into account,” Heidrun Gehlen, Katrin Krumbach and Christa Thöne-Reineke wrote in the open-access journal
Animals.
Crucial elements for safety include the absence of mares, a suitably sized area or pasture that provides good escape routes, suitable groupings that take into account the character of the stallions, multiple feeding and drinking places, as well as suitable lying and resting areas.
