A four-day course "News from ISER XIII and Advanced Equine Reproduction" (English) will take place in Warendorf-Milte, Germany on Thursday, September 7th to Sunday, September 10th, 2023.  The practice-oriented course is addressed to colleagues, aiming to deepen their theoretical knowledge and practical skills in equine reproduction. Seminars and hands-on courses can be booked individually.

Besides increasing your knowledge in a Journal club "News from ISER in Brazil 2023", small group lectures, discussion rounds and hands-on sessions we will enjoy an exciting social program (European Championships Dressage 2023 in Riesenbeck, Visit to State Stud Warendorf, Zoo tour "Behind the scenes and reproductive medicine in wildlife animals") and networking in the international group.

On Thursday afternoon, September 7th the journal club „News from ISER XIII in Brazil“ will summarize new studies with a high practice impact presented at the International Symposium for Equine Reproduction (ISER) in Brazil 2023.

The seminar „Advanced Equine Reproduction“ on Friday and Saturday, September 8th-9th will focus on practice-oriented lectures, panel discussions, small group clinical case discussions and debates about controversial topics in equine reproduction. Online seminars on demand allow individual preparation for the on site-course and deeper background knowledge.

In the afternoon hands-on courses (wetlabs), the problem mare (uterine problems and ovarian disorders), hysteroscopy, fetal sexing, monitoring of the high-risk pregnancy, advanced twin management as well as embryotransfer and Ovum-pick-up (OPU) are demonstrated and practiced on patients in small groups.

Furthermore, up to 10-15 partcipants can participant in practical sessions regarding Reproductive Surgery on Saturday September 9th and Sunday September 10th.
