Dr. Malinak presented a power point covering everything from what to look for when picking your foundation animal, heat cycles – regular and abnormal.  Sperm quality, it’s abnormalities and treatments.  Testicular & prostate conditions and treatments.  Reproductive abnormalities of both males and females including tumors, cysts and infections.  The importance and timing of brucellosis testing. The timing of a breeding using a combination of progesterone, LH testing & cytology.  The various options in artificial insemination procedures and much more were discussed.  There was also a Q & A portion.

 All in all,  we had a good turnout with 9 club members and 17 non-members attending.  I received good feedback and everyone seemed pleased with the information provided.
