Summary

Dr. Jenn Hatzel, an associate professor at Colorado State University's Equine Reproduction Lab, discusses the advancements in equine reproductive techniques, particularly in the areas of intracytoplasmic s***m injection (ICSI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF). She explains how ICSI has become a popular technique for creating embryos in horses, especially for mares with fertility issues or stallions with poor semen quality. She also highlights the potential of IVF in the equine industry and the benefits it offers, such as the ability to produce more quality embryos and the preservation of oocytes for future use. Dr. Hatzel also discusses the importance of post-mortem oocyte harvesting and embryo creation as a salvage procedure for owners who have lost a valuable mare. She emphasizes the need for continued research and advancements in cryopreservation techniques and encourages young veterinarians to consider a career in academia to contribute to the field of equine reproduction.

Dr. Giovana Catandi discusses her research on the effects of dietary supplements on oocyte metabolism and reproductive outcomes in mares. In her previous study, she found that oocytes from older mares have reduced metabolic function and lower developmental potential. In her latest study, she tested the effects of dietary additives on oocyte metabolism and found that certain supplements can improve oocyte quality and increase embryo production in older mares. She recommends a combination of supplements, including L-carnitine, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, to improve overall mare health and fertility outcomes. The prolonged use of supplements for at least 8 weeks is recommended to see positive effects. Dr. Catandi also mentions the importance of nutrition and overall health in improving fertility outcomes in mares.
