This text contains detailed coverage on the management of mares, stallions and foals, as well as stud management practicalities including infertility, artificial insemination and advanced reproductive techniques.

Equine Reproductive Physiology Breeding and Stud Management, 6th Edition provides a thorough grounding in equine reproductive anatomy and physiology and applies it to all aspects of breeding and stud management. This includes detailed coverage of the management of mares, stallions and foals, as well as stud management practicalities such as infertility, artificial insemination and advanced reproductive techniques. This new edition provides: - Up-to-date consideration of reproductive anatomy and physiology underpinned by new scientific research, and its application to practical stud management. - New references and material throughout to reflect recent advances in knowledge, particularly for new reproductive technologies such as epididymal sperm collection, gene editing, spermatogonial stem cell transplantation, germ cell production and sex modification in equine clones. - Added illustrations and photos to better explain processes and techniques. This volume, which has been updated throughout with additional material and references, continues to provide an authoritative treatise on equine reproduction for students, practising veterinary surgeons and stud managers.
