| Red Bag Delivery Part 2 |
| ( photo right ) is of a mare that was induced to deliver. As often happens when we induce parturition in mares she had a “red bag” delivery and the chorio-allantois membrane presented at her vulva. |
| This is a similar situation as in the above photo, except this mare decided to deliver standing up. Here, Gary J. Nie is about to rupture the “red bag” (chorio-allantois). |
 |
| This is shortly after the “red bag” was ruptured. You can see the edge of the ruptured chorio-allantois and the glistening white amnionic membrane that is still intact. The fetus is obviously still inside the amnionic sac. |
 |
| This photo shows Gary J. Nie and his assistant, assisting in delivery so this mare doesn’t drop the fetus on the floor. You can see the edge of the chorio-allantois and the amnionic membrane has now been ruptured. |
 |
| This photo to the right shows the placenta laid out for inspection. The chorio-allantois is in the correct orientation as it would exist during pregnancy in a mare’s uterus. The dark red, velvety surface is visible. You can also see the thinner white, amnionic membrane still attached to the vascular and membranous structures as they course inside the chorio-allantois where they connect to its inner surface. |
 |
| Photo to the left shows the chorio-allantois inverted with the smooth surface visible. You can better see the vascular and membranous attachments (extension of the umbilical structures connecting the amnionic membrane to the chorio-allantois. |
