Fundamentals of Reproduction: The Mare

06 Feb 2019 - 06 Feb 2019
09:45 - 17:15

Twemlows Hall,
Whitchurch,
SY13 2EZ

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 AI 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 AI, post breeding treatments and the problem mare, ultrasonography of the uterus and ovaries and the investigation of abortion.

Small group practical sessions will include monitoring the mare using ultrasonography and decision making, breeding soundness examination and investigation of infertility including hysteroscopy. Time does not allow for detailed training in ultrasound examination but this session will surround scanning and decision making and practical skills used during a routine fertility visit on a stud farm.
