Description
Written by acknowledged experts in the field, this authoritative text presents a comprehensive overview of reproductive management of

on techniques used in reproductive examination, breeding procedures, pregnancy diagnosis, foaling, and reproductive tract surgery. This
outstanding 2nd edition features a new chapter on the use of breeding records to evaluate stallion fertility and improve management of
breeding stallions. High-quality photographs and line drawings, many new to this edition, clearly depict procedures.
