To provide students with fundamental knowledge on the reproductive biology of farm animals, fostering understanding in areas such as the reproductive cycle of animals, reproductive organs and their functions, reproductive capacity, reproductive management, and reproductive technologies. Additionally, to raise awareness on conserving the genetic resources of farm animals, enhancing productivity, and creating healthy breeding programs. This course aims to furnish students with a solid foundation in the basic principles and applications of animal reproduction in livestock production.
The content of the course focuses on the reproductive organs of animals and their functions. In addition to female and male reproductive organs, the effects of reproductive hormones and the reproductive cycle are examined in detail. Furthermore, modern reproductive technologies such as natural and artificial breeding methods, artificial insemination, and embryo transfer are discussed. The course also addresses the importance of conserving the genetic resources of farm animals and genetic diversity. In addition to these fundamental aspects of reproductive biology, the course provides students with a broad perspective by discussing factors such as nutrition, environmental factors, disease control, and vaccination programs and their effects on reproductive performance. In light of this information, the aim is for students to acquire the necessary skills to develop a healthy breeding program and increase reproductive efficiency in farm animals.
