The objective of this course is to provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in reproductive physiology, endocrinology, reproductive biotechnology, artificial insemination, pregnancy, parturition, and postpartum management in farm animals. Students are expected to recognize the reproductive systems of different species (cattle, sheep, goats, buffalo, poultry, etc.), diagnose reproductive problems, and develop strategies to improve reproductive efficiency in herd management.
Anatomy and physiology of reproductive systems in farm animals. Hormonal control mechanisms. Estrous cycle and fertilization. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer. Pregnancy, parturition, and lactation. Postpartum reproductive health. Factors affecting reproductive efficiency and herd management. Reproduction in poultry.
