Yesterday the Agendas & Minutes page contained links to documents from three special meetings.
Today, it has links for March 12 only, minus the minutes.
Minutes from the September 18 special meeting put the herd size at 112 but did not indicate the number of males and females.
The number of self-boosting mares was not provided. (Refer to the AdvocateSpeak decoder if you don’t know what that means.)
The size of the breeding population was not provided.
The effect on genetic diversity was not discussed.
Healthy mares were not darted in 2025 due to questions about the long-term effects of PZP according to comments under Action 1K (bottom of page 12 in the pdf).
In an attempt to thwart a better understanding of how the pesticide works, protocols are in place to send the uterus—not the ovaries—of any deceased mares to researchers at the Science and Conservation Center for analysis (manufacturers of PZP).
