The equine reproductive health group at the University of Kentucky Gluck Equine Research Center has developed a number of strategic goals to help enhance reproductive performance in horses.

Conveniently centered in the largest Thoroughbred nursery in the world, Gluck Center researchers have formed productive and important partnerships with Bluegrass horse farms and equine veterinarians. The Gluck Center also addresses the reproductive technologies used by all other breeds in Kentucky.

The reproductive health group consists of four faculty members: Barry Ball, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACT, the Albert G. Clay Endowed Chair in Equine Reproduction; Karen McDowell, PhD, associate professor; Ed Squires, PhD, Dipl. ACT (hon.), director of the UK Equine Initiative, executive director of the UK Gluck Equine Research Foundation and the director of advancement and industry relations at the Gluck Center; and Mats Troedsson, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACT, director of the Gluck Center and chair of the department of veterinary science at UK
