Canine Theriogenology Course

On January 9th I attended a Canine Theriogenology conference at Ohio State School of Veterinary Medicine. It was an excellent course on canine reproduction. The things of most interest to me were the anatomy of the bitch and stud, the estrous cycle and spermatogenesis. After the class room session we went to the lab to learn hands on how to collect semen, the proper way to handle it and how to inseminate a bitch. We also learned how to prepare semen for shipping. Those were only some of the highlights of the course so it was an action packed day of learning. Ohio State did a wonderful job hosting this course. I hope I find other courses of interest to take in the future.
