Equine Reproduction and Stud Medicine

Developments in equine reproduction have meant that new information needs to be understood by practising and student veterinarians and breeders. This updated edition of the bestselling Self-Assessment Color Review includes 200 all-new color illustrated cases in random order, as they would be presented in practice. Whilst there are many texts on the subject, this book presents a series of case scenarios that are seen in daily work: the mare that will not become pregnant, the foal that is sick or the stallion whose semen needs to be evaluated.

The cases cover the mare, the foal and the stallion: anatomy, abortion, breeding management, internal medicine, ophthalmology, orthopaedics, parturition, pregnancy, semen evaluation and collection, surgery, and ultrasonography. Questions for each case are accompanied by answers that fully explore the disease/disorder in question. This book continues to be the ideal reference for veterinary candidates preparing for examinations and practitioners in their continuing education.
