Understanding Breeding Management
Christine M. Schweizer, DVM, Diplomate ACT

This authoritative yet straightforward guide discusses the preparations required -- and the challenges -- of getting mares pregnant. Schweizer covers such topics as the mare's anatomy, the reproductive system, and the importance of teasing and veterinary monitoring. The Cornell University instructor also examines the different breeding methods, including artificial insemination.

Schweizer discusses ways to optimize the chances of conception through various management techniques and how to deal with infertility. Anyone who owns a mare will benefit from this important book.

Understanding Breeding Management is a companion to Schweizer's earlier work in The Horse Health Care Library, Understanding the Broodmare.
