The Reproduction & Obstetrics Clinic has a long and rich tradition of running courses for the lifelong training of doctors of veterinary medicine. This type of postgraduate education will provide the students not only theoretical but also practical experience thanks to the number of various patients admitted to the clinic. The scope of work at the clinic covers gynecological operations, artificial insemination, determining the optimal mating time, neonatology etc. The aim of training students is to acquaint them with the biotechnology of reproduction, contemporary approaches to diagnostics of pregnancy, prevention of infertility of domestic mammals, new insights in the field of reproduction of cattle and their practical application in everyday work. The study offers students education in essential areas of reproduction, with particular emphasis on prevention and treatment of fertility, or infertility. It includes a multidisciplinary approach and offers knowledge, skills and procedures in in management, selection, feeding, animal welfare, prevention and treatment of metabolic, reproductive disorders, prevention and treatment of diseases of milk glands, infectious diseases, protection of the health of calves in order to improve reproduction and production.
By completing the studies, students will be qualified specialist trained to work on reproduction and infertility in domestic mammals.
