Fundamentals of Reproduction - the Mare Online

About the Course

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic this practical course has been moved online and will provide practical demonstrations and discussion with experts in the field.

The aim of the course is to provide new and recent graduates facing a stud season with an introduction to assessing mares prior and during the breeding season for natural covering and A.I. programs together with identifying and treating the problem mare, pregnancy diagnosis and investigation of abortion. Lectures will include the breeding soundness examination including swabs and health requirements of the mare, the oestrous cycle and its management, preparing the mare for natural covering or A.I., post breeding treatments and the problem mare, ultrasonography of the uterus and ovaries and the investigation of abortion.

Leading experts in reproduction will be performing live demonstrations of real-time cases virtually and discussing the approaches to each case. Allowing you to learn techniques from some of the best in the field.

Who is the course for?

The Fundamentals of Reproduction - the Mare is designed for Veterinary Surgeons and would be particularly suitable for young vets looking to develop their knowledge and practical skills. It would also be an ideal course for veterinary surgeons who are looking to refresh their knowledge ahead of the breeding season.

Since moving this course online it would also be advantageous for veterinary students who are looking to see practice and learn from experienced equine practitioners.
