Catalog Description:
Untitled document
This course combines the study of basic genetic principles with the study of the anatomical and physiological aspects of reproduction as they relate to equine and livestock reproduction. Genetic principles to be emphasized include basic inheritance, selection techniques, mating systems, heterosis, and performance evaluation. Reproductive aspects to include endocrinology, estrous cycles, mating behaviors, gametogenesis, conception, gestation, parturition, and maternal behaviors. Artificial insemination, embryo manipulation, and current innovations in productive biotechnology will also be examined.
