Large Animal Reproduction (Theriogenology)
The theriogenology section provides a broad array of reproductive services
for large animals (cattle, horses, pigs and small ruminants, including New World
camelids). Our reproduction management program covers everything from breeding
to pregnancy diagnosis and assistance with problem deliveries (dystocia). We
offer a referral service for diagnosis and treatment of reproductive disorders
for either individual animals or groups of animals.
