I have been completing the last two subjects of my Equine Science Degree this semester, and one of the subjects related to Equine Assisted Reproductive Technologies.

Many of you may already know the breeding and physiology side of horses fascinates me.

I was surprised however to find out that there are specialists in the field of evaluating semen.  It seems to me such a niche market!  But then again, this is what this blog is about – discovering horse related careers, no matter how unusual!

Assessing the health of semen is important – particularly in the artificial insemination industry, but even in the thoroughbred industry if things are going wrong with breeding.  As such, there are people who are experts in this field.  If this area fascinates you, why not consider a career in sperm morphology or andrology?  It may be worth looking into!

This is important anywhere where horses are bred.  In fact, I just discovered an equine andrology course that was held in Brazil!
