Description:
The Department of Animal Sciences at Kansas State University will be hosting the Equine Reproductive Management Short Courses this spring for the 15th year. In 2024, three course dates are available in March: 11th-12th, 14th-15th, and 16th-17th. This 2-day course provides horse owners with the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the techniques and procedures routinely performed on a breeding operation in order to maximize the efficiency and success of their own breeding program. Emphasis will be placed on obtaining an understanding of basic reproductive function as well as learning management techniques through a combination of discussions and hands-on laboratory sessions involving both mares and stallions. This interactive course is targeted towards the horse owner that is interested in starting a breeding program or the novice breeder who would like to improve or expand their existing program. It would also benefit the mare owner or the horse enthusiast who would simply like more information on the breeding process. The material level is not designed for the practicing equine veterinarian or the experienced horse breeder. Check the website above for additional information.
