Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) for your Mare Gestation Calculator

Mare Gestation Calculator – FAQs

1. How accurate is this calculator?

✅ Very accurate for estimation – The calculator uses the average 340-day gestation period for horses. However, actual gestation can vary between 320-370 days depending on breed, season, and mare health. Always consult a vet for precise monitoring.

2. Can I use this for other animals?

🐴 Designed for horses – This tool is specifically for mares (female horses). For other animals (Swine, Sheep, etc.)

3. Why does the due date change when I switch languages?

🌍 Date formatting only – The calculation remains the same, but dates display differently based on language (e.g., April 27, 2025 → *27 نيسان 2025* in Arabic).

4. My mare’s gestation was shorter/longer than 340 days. Is this normal?

✔️ Yes! While 340 days is average, healthy foals can be born as early as 320 days or as late as 370 days. Factors like breed (e.g., ponies often have shorter pregnancies) and nutrition play a role.

5. How do I prepare for foaling?

📋 Key steps:

• Late pregnancy: Increase feed quality, prepare a clean/straw-bedded foaling area.
• Signs of labor: Restlessness, udder swelling, waxing of teats (1-2 days before birth).
• Emergency plan: Have a vet’s number ready.

6. Does this tool save my data?

🔒 No privacy concerns – The calculator runs entirely in your browser. No breeding dates or results are stored online.

📌 Tailored recommendations:

• Early (<240 days): Focus on diet/exercise.
• Mid (120–240 days): Increase nutrition gradually.
• Late (<120 days): Monitor for labor signs.

8. What if my mare goes past the due date?
