| Short description: | The aim of the course is to acquaint students with reproductive physiology of males in domestic species. During the course they are discussed disorders of male genital organs in domestic animal species. Students learn methods of assessment of reproductive potential in males of domestic animals and how to perform andrological examination and how to manage with germ cells in in vitro conditions. Students learn how to collect and assess semen assessment and how to preserve it. Students practice technically procedure of artificial insemination of females. |
