Objectives
Participants in this wet lab will be able to work with different ultrasounds and determine what probe(s) and frequencies are most suitable for their practice. The wet lab will provide the opportunity to examine normal and abnormal cycling mares, perform a biophysical profile on a pregnant mare, evaluate the maternal-placental unit and perform basic ultrasonographic examination of the stallion.

Participants will be divided into four groups. The groups will rotate through each of the following four sessions:

• Ultrasound selection and maintenance

• Ultrasound of the open mare

• Ultrasound of the late pregnant mare

• Reproductive ultrasound of the stallion

Wet Lab Instructors
Terry L. Blanchard, DVM, DACT
Professor of Theriogenology, Texas A&M, Large Animal Surgery and Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine
Dr. Blanchard received his DVM degree in 1976 from Kansas State University and his MS in 1983 from the University of Missouri. Terry’s special interests include stallion fertility, including methods of treatment and management to improve fertility. Other clinical interests include mare infertility, and the foaling and postpartum mare. His research interests involve diagnosis and treatment of stallion infertility, including
testicular degeneration.

Elizabeth Davis, DVM, MS
Clinical Instructor, Equine Internal Medicine, KSU
Dr. Davis received her DVM degree in 1996 from the University of Florida. She then completed an internship in 1997 at Kansas State University and began a residency in equine internal medicine, which she completed in 2000. Beth is currently working on her PhD in immunology of the horse.

Andres Estrada, DVM
Resident, Equine Theriogenology, KSU
Dr. Estrada completed his veterinary studies in 1997 at Universidad de La Salle Bogota, Columbia. He studied the German language and then completed practical training in reproduction and embryo transfer at JCS Veterinary Service in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Before joining the KSU faculty in 2001, Andres completed two internships in the field of equine reproduction.

Ann Goodrich
Technical Services, Universal Medical
Ms. Goodrich is an ultrasound technical consultant at Universal Medical. Ann has 12 years experience in ultrasonography.

Juan C. Samper, DVM, MS, PhD, DACT
Associate Professor, Equine Theriogenology, KSU
Dr. Samper graduated from veterinary school in 1982 and after three years of large animal practice in Colombia, he joined the theriogenology graduate program at the University of Minnesota. During his residency at Minnesota, he earned a Masters and a PhD degree in Theriogenology. His research work focused primarily on semen cryopreservation and artificial insemination of horses. Juan worked for a couple of breeding seasons at the Swedish National Stud and in 1990 became a board-certified theriogenologist. In 1990 he joined the Faculty at the Ontario Veterinary College and after three years of academia he moved to Vancouver, British Columbia where he started JCS Veterinary Reproductive Services, his own practice. The practice comprised about 65% racehorses TB's and STB's and 35% other breeds including sport horses. During his time in British Columbia, Juan served as a first opinion and referral center for the Pacific Northwest. Activities during the breeding season included foaling and breeding management, artificial insemination with fresh, shipped cooled and frozen semen and embryo transfer. Juan has lectured and consulted extensively for several breeding farms in North and South America as well as in Europe. He recently joined the faculty as an associate professor at Kansas State University coordinating the equine reproduction program of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital. Juan has published extensively in refereed journals and has authored several book chapters on artificial insemination and stallion physiology. Most recently he published his book "Equine Breeding Management and Artificial Insemination"
