Animal Science
[description of how partnerships with industry allow AnSci create unique and value added learning experiences for students]
Equine Reproduction Lab
The Equine Reproduction Laboratory is part of the Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology Laboratory in the College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Colorado State University. The CSU Equine Reproduction Program has developed leading-edge equine reproduction techniques for the equine industry for over 45 years.
Current Research
Equine Genetic Preservation
This research aims to improve the ability to utilize frozen semen from more stallions, which would have a great impact on the equine industry.
Assisted Reproductive Techniques
Assisted reproductive technologies are widely used in the equine industry to provide more efficient use of valuable equine genetics and equine reproductive physiology. CSU has been a leader in this development.
Fertilization and Pregnancy
Thousands of foals are born a year, but the actual mechanisms involved in fertilization remain unknown. Two dilemmas related to reproduction include, an ever-growing desire to maximize reproductive efficiency and a need for an effective contraception protocol.
Reproductive Physiology
Reproductive physiology encompasses a wide variety of reproductive functions, including neuroanatomy and endocrinology, testicular and ovarian physiology, and physiology of the male and female reproductive tracts.
Reproductive Pathology
This research aims to develop accurate and sensitive diagnostic tests for detection of the presence of a reproductive disease or abnormality.
Outreach
Continuing Education Registration
The Equine Reproduction lab has multiple opportunities for veterinarians and horse owners to continue their education, virtuallly or with hands-on work.
Stallion Roster
The ERL barn house 10 stallions for the breeding season. The barn houses both CSU-owned stallions and client stallions from around the nation.
Stallion Auction
Colorado State University’s stallion auction supports continued equine research. The auction funds the CSU Equine Orthopedic Research Center and th CSU Equine Reproduction Laboratory.
