Horse breeding will provide understanding and hands-on opportunity in equine reproduction. Specifically, semen collection, evaluation and processing practice; discussion in mare breeding management and use of hormones; preparation of the mare for breeding; introduction to embryo transfer. Additionally, the mares in the breeding program at the Hadley Farm will be worked-on during laboratories and students will be able to participate in teasing and decision-making on breeding management and assisting in foaling. Client based cases may also be introduced during lab sessions.

This course is a study of both internal and external parasites found in veterinary medicine. Areas of concentration include life cycles, pathogenesis, treatment, control, and public health significance of these parasites. The laboratory portion includes both gross and microscopic evaluation, identification, and testing procedures.
