Objectives
The Equine Reproduction
Conference for Practitioners is designed to provide
veterinarians current information which will update and increase
their knowledge/skills on reproductive management of
mares/stallions and on provision of adequate neonatal care for
high risk foals. Extensive hands-on experience will be provided
on semen collection, proper semen handling, evaluation and
preparation for shipment, low dose insemination techniques,
evaluation of high risk pregnancies and fetal biophysical
profile. In addition, in light of the last outbreak and cases
reported of Equine Viral Arteritis (EVA) in New Mexico, Utah,
Oklahoma and Kansas, a discussion on prevention and control of
EVA will be included this year.
Conference Wet Labs
Conference participants will have the
opportunity to gain hands-on experience in each of the following
wet labs:
• Stallion handling and semen collection over a teaser mare and
over a phantom
• Semen evaluation, preparation and packaging for shipping
• Deep horn insemination
• Fetal biophysical profile
