    The goal Based on knowledge on reproduction, obstetrics, fertility, artificial insemination and diseases of the mammary gland in domestic animals, students are enabled to independently diagnose, take prophylaxis and treat illnesses.
    The outcome Reproduction, fertility and artificial insemination aims to prepare students for more effective and direct involvement in clinical practice through theoretical education and greater scope of practical work. Through theoretical and practical classes, clinical exercises and summer practice, students should acquire a complete picture of all aspects of the clinical pathology of the reproductive tract of domestic animals, so that, given the greater scope of practical work, they can work in practice right after the completion of their studies.
