Theriogenology

Theriogenology is a specialized area of veterinary medicine that focuses on the reproductive health and management of animals. It involves the study of reproductive physiology, endocrinology, and reproductive disorders in different animal species, as well as the development of strategies to manage and treat these conditions.

Theriogenologists work with a range of animals, including pets, livestock, and wildlife. They may specialize in areas such as animal breeding, reproductive surgery, or reproductive endocrinology.

Some of the key areas of focus in theriogenology include reproductive cycle management, artificial insemination, embryo transfer, fertility testing, and management of infertility or other reproductive disorders.

Theriogenologists may also work closely with veterinarians, animal owners, and animal breeding programs to develop breeding plans and strategies that optimize the health and genetic diversity of animal populations.
