This grant is for the purpose of developing an advanced immunocontraceptive agent for wild mares. The primary goal is to create a longer-duration (3-4 year) PZP vaccine that can effectively assist in reducing the population growth rates of wild horses. This innovative solution aims to be noninvasive in its application, requiring only a single injection, and will operate using controlled-release technology to ensure extended efficacy. The temporary effect of the vaccine ensures ethical management of wild horse populations, providing a sustainable and humane approach to wildlife conservation. This research seeks to provide a practical tool for managing wild horse numbers through a scientific and reversible method.
