This document discusses age determination in camels by examining their teeth. It notes that camel teeth erupt and develop at consistent ages. The most useful teeth for aging are the incisors, canines, and first premolar teeth. Examination involves looking for deciduous versus permanent teeth and noting wear patterns, as wear rates are influenced by the camel's environment. Diagrams illustrate typical tooth development and wear at ages including 9 months, 1.5 years, 3.5 years, and 15 years.
This document discusses infertility in male animals. It begins by describing the normal mating behavior and duration of copulation across different species. It then discusses various causes of infertility, including conditions that prevent normal service like problems with erection or lesions on the penis. It also discusses conditions that allow for normal service but prevent conception, like issues with the testes or sperm defects. Specific diseases and defects that can cause infertility are described in detail throughout the document.
This document is the table of contents for the 10th edition of the Compendium of Animal Reproduction, edited by Monika Ptaszynska. It provides an overview of the chapters contained within the book, which cover topics such as the physiology of reproduction for various species including cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, dogs and cats. It also discusses reproductive management, control of estrus, reproductive disorders and treatments, pregnancy diagnosis, induction of parturition, and issues related to males of each species. The editor's preface expresses hope that readers will find the Compendium a useful resource from both scientific and practical perspectives on the fascinating subject of animal reproduction.
In vitro fertilization (IVF) has evolved significantly since the late 19th century when the first embryo transplantations were conducted in rabbits. Major milestones include the first successful human IVF in 1978 resulting in the birth of Louise Brown in England. Since then, over 8 million IVF babies have been born worldwide with over 500,000 births annually as IVF has spread globally and techniques have advanced.

EVALUATION OF BREEDING SOUNDNESS IN BREEDING BULLAnoop Yadav
This document discusses breeding soundness evaluation of bulls. The evaluation identifies bulls with poor breeding ability and suboptimal fertility to improve herd fertility. It involves physical examination, measuring scrotal size, semen evaluation, and testing libido. Key parts of the physical exam include examining the reproductive, digestive, urinary, and locomotor systems. Scrotal circumference is also measured as it correlates with testicular weight and sperm production. Semen is evaluated for motility, morphology, and abnormal sperm. Libido and mating ability are also assessed to identify bulls with inadequate sexual desire or ability to complete service.
This document outlines the facilities and procedures for collecting semen from stallions for artificial insemination. It describes the collection area as a clean, safe space with good footing and restraint equipment located near the laboratory. The collection supplies include an artificial vagina, collection bottle, and thermal covering. Semen is checked for volume, motility, morphology, and concentration in the laboratory using an incubator, microscope, and densimeter. Mares are typically inseminated with 500 million sperm and checked via ultrasound for pregnancy 14 days later.
Hereditary and acquired causes of infertilityTushar Watane
This document discusses hereditary and acquired causes of infertility in animals. It outlines several hereditary conditions including freemartinism, hermaphroditism, white heifer disease, and ovarian abnormalities. It also discusses acquired causes such as somatic diseases, genital infections, improper feeding, climatic factors, and mismanagement. Overall, the document provides an overview of genetic and non-genetic factors that can contribute to infertility.
This document provides definitions and discusses the anatomy and functions of the reproductive systems of male and female animals. It describes the supporting tissues, proper reproductive organs, hormones, and clinical uses of reproductive hormones for both genders. The summary is:
The document defines reproduction and obstetrics, and describes the anatomy of the male and female reproductive systems, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina, vulva, testes, epididymis, vas deferens, urethra, accessory glands, penis, and prepuce. It also discusses reproductive hormones like FSH, LH, progesterone, testosterone, oxytocin, and prostaglandins, and their
The document discusses sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and their symptoms. It notes that STDs can range from simple skin infections like lice and scabies to more serious diseases like syphilis and HIV/AIDS. Common STDs are treatable by health workers, while serious STDs may be untreatable and pose risks to families and societies. Symptoms of STDs usually appear as discharges or sores in the genital areas. Knowing the characteristics of discharges or types of sores can help identify different STDs. The document recommends testing for HIV in all people detected with STDs due to higher risks of multiple partners.
Practical approaches for treatment of Repeat Breeding Syndrome in Dairy cattleAMOLYEDE
This document summarizes a seminar on approaches for treating repeat breeding syndrome in dairy cattle. It discusses the incidence, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of repeat breeding syndrome. The seminar covers maternal, bull, environmental, and management factors that can cause repeat breeding. It also discusses diagnostic methods such as record analysis, visual examination, rectal palpation, vaginoscopy, and tests of uterine health. The goal is to provide practical guidance on managing this important reproductive issue in dairy herds.
The science of synchronization of estrus and ovulation in females has made great strides.
Several protocols that allow producers to precisely schedule insemination of groups of females are available for fixed-time insemination in females.
Human spermatozoa can tolerate a range of temperature. They are not very sensitive to damage caused by cooling possibly because of high membrane fluidity which is used as a technique to preserve spermatozoa in adverse conditions. cryopreservation technology has been a boon in every aspect of infertility & ART practice.
The document discusses the principles and process of breeding horses, including selecting mares and stallions, monitoring the mare's estrus cycle, artificial insemination, ultrasound scans to confirm pregnancy, foaling, and caring for newborn foals. The goals are to maximize the chances of conception and delivery of healthy foals, while ensuring the well-being of the mare and foal. Proper record keeping is also emphasized.
Conformation And Selection Of Horses (Anderson)Gwyn Shelle
This presentation discusses conformation evaluation and selection of horses. It covers evaluating a horse's balance, muscle structure, quality and refinement, breed and sex characteristics, and way of going. Key points for conformation include looking at the horse's length of shoulder, back, and hip for balance. Muscle structure is evaluated from the side, front, and rear. Quality and refinement looks at the overall appearance and bone quality. When selecting a horse, it's important to consider the experience of the rider and the intended use of the horse.
This document discusses nerve blocks in the equine head to provide anesthesia for various procedures. It describes the key nerves, including the trigeminal, maxillary, mandibular, and others. It details the locations of nerve block sites, such as around the infraorbital foramen to anesthetize the upper lip and incisors. Different techniques are outlined, such as the 4 point block and Peterson eye block to anesthetize the eye globe for procedures like eyeball removal. The document provides guidance on performing nerve blocks to anesthetize specific regions of the head and teeth.
Upon completion of the training, trainees will be able to:
Determine pregnancy by palpating a cow;
Determine the stages of pregnancy through palpation;
Differentiate the pregnancy and abnormal conditions of the uterus;
Fill and discuss the pregnancy diagnosis test form
The document discusses a study on the relationship between hygiene scores and subclinical mastitis in dairy cows. The study aimed to determine if poor hygiene, assessed via hygiene scoring of the udder, lower legs, and upper legs/flank, was correlated with higher rates of subclinical mastitis. The results found good hygiene scores in the small sample of cows studied, which all had no signs of subclinical mastitis based on California Mastitis Tests. However, the small sample size prevented definitive statistical analysis, so no relationship could be confirmed. Larger multi-farm studies over longer periods were recommended to further explore the potential relationship between hygiene and subclinical mastitis.
This document discusses fetal mummification and maceration in animals. Fetal mummification is the shriveling of the fetus caused by the absorption of fluids from the fetus and uterus, leading to the death of the fetus. It can be caused by genetic abnormalities, hormonal issues, or problems with the placenta or umbilical cord. Maceration occurs when the fetus dies but is not aborted, causing it to become putrefied inside the uterus. Both conditions require veterinary intervention such as medications to induce abortion or surgical removal of the remains if abortion does not occur naturally.
