On February 23-25, 2023, the Walewice Horse Stud will host the 1st Conference entitled „Scientific and practical aspects of equine reproduction.” The Committee of Veterinary Sciences and Reproductive Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Hippiatric Society have assumed scientific patronage of the event. One of the organizers of the conference is our Institute.

The conference’s main objective will be to exchange scientific and practical experience and integrate the community of researchers and practitioners: zootechnicians and veterinarians dealing with equine reproduction in Poland. The conference will be divided into two parts: scientific and practical.

The scientific discussion will focus on the genetic basis of equine reproduction, biotechniques and biotechnology of equine reproduction, and the physiology and pathology of these animals. Oral presentations and poster sessions are planned. The practical workshop is divided into theoretical and practical parts. Workshop participants will learn about various aspects of stallion reproduction with particular emphasis on issues related to semen collection and preparation for insemination.
