This new edition provides: Up-to-date consideration of reproductive anatomy and physiology underpinned by new scientific research, and its application to practical stud management. New references and material throughout to reflect recent advances in knowledge, particularly for new reproductive technologies such as epididymal sperm collection, gene editing, spermatogonial stem cell transplantation, germ cell production and sex modification in equine clones. Added illustrations and photos to better explain processes and techniques.
