As part of our continued effort to promote the application of reproductive technologies, the University of Georgia Extension and UGA College of Veterinary Medicine are collaborating with E.I. Medical Imaging to provide a training course in bovine ultrasonography.

Course Structure

This 2-day course is divided into in-class and hands-on portions. The in-class portions will provide attendees with the knowledge required to perform reproductive ultrasound evaluations in cattle. The in-class portion will be followed by the hands-on experiential learning (majority of the course), where attendees will have the opportunity to perform ultrasound examinations themselves.

PLEASE NOTE: This course is restricted to veterinarians, veterinary students, and graduate students in bovine reproduction

Topics Covered

• Female reproductive tract evaluation
• Pregnancy detection
