This short course consists of more than 22 hours of instruction (about 10 hours of theoretical
instruction/lecture and 12 hours of hands-on instruction in the lab) working with mares for artificial
insemination. The course will cover several topics, including: semen evaluation and processing for
insemination in mares, artificial insemination techniques, the mare estrous cycle and methods of
manipulation, prediction of ovulation, and anovulatory conditions. Students will receive lots of hands-on
practice in mare insemination using fresh, cooled, and frozen semen, and view demonstrations of
ultrasonographic evaluation of mares’ reproductive status and deep intra-uterine insemination.
