Covers background information on embryo transfer with special emphasis on bovine embryo transfer. Specialized techniques e.g. embryo freezing, sexing, and splitting will be reviewed and in some cases form parts of laboratory exercises. Laboratory exercises will be conducted primarily on cattle. These will include superovulation, artificial insemination, embryo collection and transfer, and embryo handling techniques. Designed to provide the student with sufficient knowledge and laboratory experience to conduct the entire procedure in one species.
Total immersion in the area of study pertinent to the graduate student. A complete report is required and should come from a daily log of activities and be organized from a protocol set up by the student's advisory committee prior to going out on this experience.
The anatomy, pathophysiology and surgery of the equine species will be studied with respect to the basic principles of wound healing, tissue response to trauma and the related physiologic responses. Regular seminars based on current literature reviews of selected topics will be required of candidates. Weekly case-based discussions will be used to bridge from the classroom to the clinical patient. Advanced equine surgery I will focus on general surgery in the horse.

Consists of lectures, laboratories and seminars on equine reproduction. Candidates will attend lectures and present seminars on selected topics covering reproductive biology of the brood mare and stallion, reproductive diseases and management of brood mare farms. Laboratories include demonstrations of assisted reproductive procedures and practical techniques.
A tutorial course covering the radiographic diagnosis of disease in large animals. Familiarizes the student with normal radiographic anatomy and the radiographic signs of disease in the skeleton, thorax and abdomen of these species.
Provides graduate training in several aspects of veterinary management of exotic animals including reproduction and game farming. Practical training is included, and is a major component of the course. Emphasis will be placed on capture, restraint, examination and treatment of wild animals commonly found in zoos and wildlife parks. Preventive medicine programs will be discussed for the major specie groups. Laboratories will consist of demonstrations and field trips.
The clinical aspects of diseases of cattle in Canada. Reading and Study assignments of cattle diseases on a systems basis. Candidates required to critically discuss current literature on the subject and offer weekly seminars with emphasis given to clinical case presentations.
