The fetal fluids should be clear in late gestation with echoic particles that can
normally be stirred up in the allantoic fluid with transport and fetal movement.
Cellular fluid
Echoic fluid in the allantoic or amniotic fluid cavities is an indication of infection or
fetal distress.
Uteroplacental thickness
For the biophysical profile, the maximum utero-placental thickness is abnormal if it is
> 24 mm and the minimal utero-placental thickness is abnormal if < 3.9 mm.
Uteroplacental thickness
However, the mare should be treated for a probable placentitis if the uteroplacental
thickness is > 15 mm in late gestation. Significant utero-placental thickening is
