A complete and total update in Equine Reproduction and Neonatology with the most complete and effective educational program on the market"

This Postgraduate certificate aims to cover as much as possible all the responsibilities of the clinical veterinarian in relation to natural and routine procedures in healthy individuals (delivery and peripartum care, field surgeries such as castrations, etc.) as well as possible pathologies, diseases and disorders of the reproductive system of the male and female that may arise.

First, the medical pathologies of the male and female will be presented, followed by the surgical pathologies. All these issues will be presented in the necessary breadth, increasing the student's skills in traditional practices as well as in novel procedures and the latest researched techniques.

This program will also address the main alterations that can affect the urinary system; these can compromise the physical condition of the animal to the point of reducing its performance or even limiting the patient's life. Possible diagnostic tests will be reviewed and treatment alternatives will be extensively established.

As for the genital apparatus, it does not present the characteristic of being essential to maintain the life of the individual, but its function is indispensable for the perpetuation of the species. For horses, it is of great economic relevance, since one of the most important facets of the equestrian sector is the breeding and production of animals that will follow various paths; they may be again destined to reproduction for the improvement of the breed; they will go directly to auctions or sales of foals in private dealings, being destined for sports and leisure purposes; or, simply, they will be destined to the food channel and to obtain by-products.

The Postgraduate certificate in Equine Reproduction and Neonatology will be complemented with a series of exclusive Masterclasses that will address the latest advances and techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of equine reproductive and neonatal pathologies. Students will have the opportunity to learn from a leading expert in the field of Equine Reproduction and Neonatology, delving into the clinical practice of the highest international level.
