Researchers at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine marked a milestone in equine-assisted reproductive technologies with the first successful use of frozen-thawed sperm for in vitro fertilization (IVF) production of equine embryos. The number of racehorse fatalities in the 2022-23 fiscal year continues to decline, according to the California Horse Racing Board (CHRB). Hair samples can be useful in detecting the long-term use of bisphosphonates in horses, according to a study by Heather Knych, DVM, PhD, of the K.L. Maddy Equine Analytical Chemistry Lab’s Pharmacology section and the Department of Molecular Biosciences, at U.C. Davis College of Veterinary medicine.Amy Young
