Overview of the Reproductive system
Reproduction is the complex set of biological processes that result in the formation of a new organism. It is crucial, especially in our production animals, that we understand how these processes occur normally. Pathology and disease are common within the reproductive system and can not only lead to a sick animal but also lead to loss of production. In this section we hope to cover all the main processes in the domestic animals. This will lay a foundation to aid in the understanding of more potentially quite complex pathologies.
