How long do ponies live and how do they breed?

Ponies have a long life span, with an average life span of 40 years and a maximum life span of 60 years.

Pony's adult height is below 106 cm. Because it is small and exquisite, smart and gentle, it is deeply loved by people. It can be used for viewing, entertainment, experiment and labor, and it is also a good "friend" for children and the elderly. Because the number is scarce, it is even more precious, which can be said to be the treasure of the horse.

Methods of breeding ponies:

We must stick to grazing, pay special attention to summer fat and protect the fetus. In summer, you can graze against the wind during the day and graze with the wind when it is cool at night. Be careful not to disturb horses when grazing at night, especially in thunderstorm weather, so as not to scare pregnant mares.

In hot summer, horses are prone to thirst and need to drink water 3~3 times every morning and evening. When rushing to the water source, you should move slowly. When you reach a certain distance, you should control the horses to prevent them from choking because they are eager to drink water.

Salt is also needed for grazing in summer. Pay attention to feeding the horses at night. In summer, the climate temperature will be very high and hot during the day. Horses usually don't eat much grass, but at night, the temperature is usually lower than the previous month, and the climate is cool. In summer, graze in the plain grass area so that horses can eat good grass.

Dwarf mechanism of pony

The research of dwarfing mechanism is mainly found in humans, poultry and pigs, and the molecular genetic research of horse dwarfing mechanism is still quite lacking. 1997, human cloned and located SHOX gene for the first time, that is, the pseudoautosomal region (Xp22.32 or Ypll.3) located at the end of the short arm of inactivated and activated X and Y chromosomes.

The full length of the gene is 35 kb, and the complete coding sequence is 879 bp. The abnormality of SHOX gene is related to skeletal abnormalities of three human diseases: idiopathic short stature and cartilage osteogenesis disorder. The incidence of deletion and mutation of SHOX gene is related to different phenotypes of human growth disorders and human growth physiology and pathology.

In animal genetics and breeding, people have found and mainly concentrated on the research and utilization of dwarf genes in chickens, and there are also reports on dwarf genes in dogs and pigs.
