Contraception can be provided to wild horses in a humane, economically feasible, and publicly acceptable manner. Currently, pZP immunocontraception has the greatest potential to control fertility because it is easy to administer, is safe, can provide multi-year efficacy, and has minimal side effects. SpayVac® (ImmunoVaccine Technologies, Inc.
