AS 375: Equine Reproductive Management Lab Schedule - 2018 (schedule not yet done)

  • Place: 134 Animal Sciences Bldg, UW- Madison then move to barn
  • Do on-line labs before the associated class period. You should know and understand what you are doing before coming to class.
  • The labs periods are for 4 hours each with people assigned to either groups 1 or 2. Labs begin at either 9:00 AM or 2:00 PM. The class is split between groups 1 and 2 so we can observe you more carefully while performing estrus detection, collecting semen, artificial insemination, and reproductive soundness exams to ensure we prevent any injuries to you or the horses.
