Courses deals mainly with domestic mammals (ruminants, pigs, horses, dogs and cats). Other species such as birds and rodents are also addressed. The accent is brought on the importance of the regulation of physiological functions, among others by presenting simple pathological situations.
The course is splitted into two parts
Partim A deals with endocrinology and physiology of reproduction.
Two practical sessions, one on hormonal assays, the other on semen analysis and vaginal smear are planned. Reports will have to be returned at the end of both sessions
