The aim of the course is to ensure that new graduates facing their first stud season are conversant with the theory and practical techniques of equine artificial insemination. Lectures will include health requirements and paperwork for both mare and stallion; assessment of the mare prior to insemination; timing of insemination for chilled and frozen semen; techniques of equine insemination and assessment of the mare after insemination. Small group practical sessions will include microscopic assessments of chilled and frozen equine semen and insemination of mares using conventional and deep intra-uterine techniques. NB this course does NOT cover reproductive ultrasonography (which is covered in the BEVA course running on 2nd – 4th June 2008 in Yorkshire). |
