Interesting fact, the drug Premerin which is a hormonal drug for women is made by Pfizer also. It is said that they use pregnant horses urine to make the drug. My doctor won't prescribe it for just that reason.
Premerin is made from pregnant mares urine. It's in the name Pre gnant Mar e Ur in e. There were a fair number of breeding farms in Canada that would breed draft (larger horse- more urine) mares that would then be in stalls with collection devices to collect the urine.
After giving birth the foals were an unwanted byproduct. There were rescues that were specifically for PMU foals.
