The frozen semen course is designed for anyone seriously interested in learning the techniques involved in freezing, thawing, and handling of equine spermatozoa.
This one day hands-on in person laboratory session will provide veterinarians with four (4) CE hours from some of the world leaders in equine embryo transfer. Participants must complete the virtual Equine Embryo Transfer course prior to attending the laboratory session. The virtual embryo transfer course provides the necessary background lecture material to precede the in-person course. This course is for veterinarians only.
The goal of this 2-day course is to provide a combination of classroom lectures and hands-on laboratory sessions covering the basic aspects of equine reproduction for veterinarians in clinical practice. Day 1 will be dedicated to Stallion Reproduction, while Day 2 will be focused on Broodmare Reproduction. Lectures will be held in the morning and laboratory sessions in the afternoon each day. Registration opening soon!
The flagship course of the program is designed for horse owners and breeders to increase the efficiency and ultimately the success of their breeding programs. Cost is $2,500 for 5 full days of hands-on learning and insightful lectures. Course is designed for horse owners, breeders, and breeding assistants.
The goal of the course is to provide up-to-date, clinically relevant information on equine embryo transfer. Lectures will include donor mare management, embryo collection procedures, embryo evaluation, recipient mare management, the art of transferring embryos, cooled transport of embryos, problems encountered in equine embryo transfer, and embryo vitrification (cryopreservation).
This in-depth virtual course will utilize current research developed to efficiently freeze equine sperm. The course will emphasize a quality end product and simplify the management of the straws for future use. Participants will have a better understanding of the entire freezing process, quality control, storage, mare management, and artificial insemination of mares using frozen sperm. Previous experience with semen collection and processing is desirable.
