The Equine Research Centre (ERC) at Guelph, in partnership with Glengate Farms of Campbellville, Minitube of Canada and the Semex Alliance, continues to respond to the needs of horse breeders with a two-day workshop, on March 4 & 5, 2000. The weekend will cover issues, procedures and practices related to collecting, transporting, and freezing semen, and inseminating mares.


“This is a very popular workshop,” said ERCs president Andrew Clarke. “Deb Ottier, a Masters student who does reproduction research at the ERC, has designed an excellent two-day program covering many new technologies for breeders. She has enlisted the help of several experts in the field and incorporated hands-on lab work that leaves all our attendees very enthused and satisfied.”


“Overall this workshop is a valuable tool to educate or re-educate oneself on procedures, up-dates and general knowledge (for breeding)” happy customer.


Saturday, March 4 will focus on the stallion: procedures for collecting, handling and transporting semen; and processing, freezing and thawing of stallion semen, including hands-on lab work. Featuring speakers Dr. Steve Lorton, Doug Nash of Glengate Farm and ERC reproduction researcher Deb Ottier
