About this course
Do you want to develop your reproductive knowledge further? Join us for a three-day, highly practical course discussing case management and learning from highly experienced, friendly speakers.
Day one will focus on consolidating and refining your standard repro work, with talks on normal findings, ultrasonography, pregnancy and twin diagnosis and management, embryo transfer and hysteroscopy. Small group practicals led by our highly experienced and approachable speaker team will allow plenty of hands on time and informal discussion of cases, focusing on ultrasound in the mare, pregnancy diagnosis, and uterine sampling and processing.
On day two we move onto more advanced procedures and scanning, with foetal sexing, management of AI mares and semen storage on the theory side and practicals to demonstrate and discuss hysteroscopy, embryo flushing, foetal sexing and problem solving in tricky cases in the mare. On the stallion side we’ll be hands on with semen handling, evaluation and processing. Small groups will allow informal discussion with our approachable speakers.
Day three switches focus to the late gestational mare and foal, with talks and small group, hands on practicals covering assessment of the mare and foal prepartum, as well as post foaling.
