- Summary:
- Equine stud medicine has become an increasingly important veterinary specialty over the last 40 years, and it is now understood that careful stud management can have a significant benefit in improving fertility and thereby the commercial viability of equine breeding establishments. In this book the authors set out to provide sufficient basic information for effective stud practice. Written in an easy and accessible style, and illustrated with numerous photographs, diagrams, and flowcharts to highlight key points, this book will be a useful reference to senior veterinary students and to those veterinarians who are developing an interest in equine stud medicine. Furthermore the book should be of interest to stud owners and owners of brood mares.
