This practical course was developed for equine veterinarians with some practical experience and a working knowledge in mare reproduction. The lectures will focus on the diagnosis, management and latest techniques in artificial insemination, including semen management to maximize pregnancy rates in barren and subfertile mares as well as on the pregnant mare including management of twin pregnancies, fetal sexing, pre- and post-partum related problems and peri-partum emergencies incl. dystocia & retained fetal membranes etc.

To participate in the On-Location Portion, attendees are required to have first worked through the corresponding online Lecture Series ‘Beyond Basics in Mare Reproduction’:

The online Lecture Series addresses the following hot topics via well-illustrated, case-discussions providing a platform for the panel of speakers to share pitfalls, erroneous clinical conclusions and useful tips and tricks:

Routine Management of Mares for chilled and frozen Insemination
Examining the Barren Mare (incl. use of ultrasonography in the subfertile mare)
Placentitis - thinking beyond CUPT
Hysteroscopic Examination of the Mare
Foetal Sexing – 56 – 75 days
Foetal Sexing – Day 110 & Beyond
Preventing early pregnancy failure in natural and assisted breeding
Risk Factors for Non-Pregnancy in Mares
Managing Semen for Deep Horn Insemination (DHI)
Pre-Partum Reproductive Emergencies
Approach to Dystocia in the Field
Post-Partum Reproductive Emergencies (incl. Retained Fetal Membranes)
Day 1 starts at 3:00PM with 3 hours of interactive Case-Discussions, Q&A which will give attendees the unique opportunity to apply what they have learned during Lecture Series in discussion with the world-renowned specialists. This will then be followed by the obligatory Wine & Cheese Reception allowing for attendees to socialise with colleagues and the speakers/instructors.

On the second day, 7 hours of small group sessions (2 – 4 attendees / ultrasound machine) will give attendees plenty of opportunity to put theory into practice on live horses under the supervision of the specialists. There will furthermore be plenty of time for discussions and each attendee will rotate through the following practical stations:

Ultrasound Examination (incl. Doppler)
Hysteroscopy & Processing Semen for DHI
Management of Mares & Uterine Sampling Techniques (Swabbing, flushing & biopsies etc.)
Transrectal Ultrasound – Assessment of the Fetus & Utero-placental Unit
Transrectal & Percutaneous Ultrasonographic Fetal Sexing
Harvesting Tissues & Oocytes for Cloning/ICSI
The course fee includes, coffee/tea breaks, a wine & cheese reception, lunch and a certificate of attendance. To participate in the On-Location Case-Discussions & Practical Sessions, attendees are required to have first worked through the Lecture Series (included in the price).
