Newsletter of the Theriogenology Foundation Vol. 4, Summer Issue

Mission StatementThe Theriogenology Foundation is a global resource that supports education and research in reproductive medicine; ensuring that future generations of animals continue to enrich our lives through service, companionship, and food for a growing human population while conserving our natural resources.

I’ve been on the phone since May, 1957. Inheriting the gift of gab was easy; learning how to downregulate it to allow for thoughtful listening has taken decades.

In 2013, your Foundation initiated a call to the American Kennel Club. We listened to their concerns involving canine reproductive health and collaborated with them to establish theriogenology residencies in three colleges of veterinary medicine.

In 2016, the Theriogenology Foundation (TF) phone line became a conference call with both the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF). Listening resulted in the CHF plans to administer new theriogenology residency grants with four US veterinary schools: Auburn University, The Ohio State University, North Carolina State University and the University of Pennsylvania.

In addition to our combined support of education, TF has encouraged CHF awareness of canine reproductive diseases as a focus of research funding. Dr. Marco A. Coutinho da Silva of The Ohio State University will study the Role of E. Coli Biofilm in Canine Pyometra. Endometrial samples from clinical cases of pyometra procured from multiple collaborating private practitioners throughout the country will be evaluated. If successful, demonstration of the presence of biofilm in the endometrium of bitches affected by pyometra could lead to development of new therapeutics targeted at the disruption of biofilm, resulting in improved treatment for canine pyometra.

At the Minnesota Department of Health, Tory V. Whitten, MPH and Joni M. Scheftel, DVM, MPH, will study brucellosis in canine rescue and shelter populations. Results from this study, An Epidemiological Study of Brucella canis, will help determine prevalence and raise awareness of this disease, identify risk factors for canine brucellosis, create prevention and control measures and aim to develop a diagnostic PCR test.

“The new grants will have a direct impact on the health and treatment options for dogs with these life-threatening illnesses,” said Dr. Diane Brown, CHF’s chief executive officer. “CHF is proud to continue to build a diverse research portfolio that helps advance veterinary

medicine and biomedical science, furthering our understanding of both canine and human health.”

“We are proud to partner with the Theriogenology Foundation to continue our ongoing commitment to canine health research,” said Dennis Sprung, president and chief executive officer of the AKC.“ Helping to cultivate future veterinarians and health researchers is essential to the wellbeing of all dogs. We look forward to seeing their contributions to canine wellness.”

Wonderful progress is made when people listen, talk, give and get. And you are never too young to start.

Our operators are standing by …thanks in advance for calling in your support!

Kansas State Universityby Sara Elves

The Student Chapter for the Society of Theriogenology at Kansas State University is proud to announce that they hosted their first artificial insemination certification course in April with the guidance of their faculty advisor, Robert Larson, DVM, Ph.D., DACT, DACVPM, ACAN. A three day course was led by David Grieger, Ph.D. with assistance from Luís Mendonça, MS, DVM from our College of Agriculture. There were fifteen students representing our veterinary classes of 2019, 2018, and 2017 in attendance with interests ranging from production medicine to zoo cryopreservation.

The first day focused on estrus synchronization protocols in dairy cattle and comparisons across both dairy and beef industries. Hormones utilized to influence synchronization programs and timed artificial insemination were emphasized. Students were able to practice passing guns on dissected tracts before receiving an introduction to rectal palpation techniques after lecture. The second day involved more in-depth palpation practice and gun

passing on live cows with discussion topics on semen handling and proper loading of A.I. guns. The final day focused on emphasizing pharmacological choices and reviewing the previous days’ material. Beef cattle synchronization protocols were reviewed. Students were then tested on their ability to correctly handle semen, load A.I. guns, and successfully pass the cervix in live cows.

It was a wonderful event and the student chapter would like to thank the TF for their gracious funding and extend gratitude to Dr. Robert Larson for his unending support and to Dr. David Grieger for his time, enthusiasm, expertise, and humor.

Purdue UniversityDavid Pugh, DVM, MS, MAg, DACT, DACVN, & DACVM visited Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine on September 24, 2015. Dr. Pugh is the Director of the Alabama State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory System and a clinical professor at Auburn University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. His interests are in small ruminant and equid nutrition, parasite management and herd health.

On September 24th, Dr. Pugh provided two lectures to the members of the Student Chapter of the Society for Theriogenology and the Student Chapter of Food Animal Club. During the noon lecture, Dr. Pugh discussed nutritional requirements for small ruminant gestation. He also demonstrated the relationship between nutrition, vaccinations & parasites, reproductive management, and veterinary care. During the evening lecture Dr. Pugh discussed causes, diagnosis, and prevention of pregnancy loss in small ruminants. Members learned about the zoonotic potential and how to reduce the risk of transmitting these diseases. Dr. Pugh had the opportunity to interact with the students and faculty, tour the hospital and learn about the exciting things that are going on at Purdue University’s College of Veterinary Medicine. The chapter wants to thank the Society for Theriogenology and the Foundation for their financial support and Dr. Pugh for visiting the chapter.

Partnerships for Learning

The Theriogenology Foundation is a global non-profit which believes that the preservation and reproduction of animals is essential to

human welfare. By engaging specialists in animal reproductive health and productivity, the TF formulates and implements solutions

to combat human and animal diseases which threaten food security and the social and economic health of the world’s population.

Through the efforts of the TF, students have the opportunity to travel and participate in educational programs through specialized

grants. Scientists have the resources to research and develop means of fighting disease to help the global economy develop healthier,

self-sustaining food production practices, and veterinary practitioners are able to assist clients with animal reproduction through

advances in theriogenology.

Canine Breeder Excellence Seminar in MichiganMichigan State University Veterinary Medical Center recently hosted a seminar for area dog enthusiasts. Over 120 individuals attended a one-day seminar featuring speakers from many parts of the country.

The day was designed to provide pertinent, useful, and current information relating to canine reproduction and neonatology. All funds raised were donated in support of the Theriogenology Foundation and the Michigan State Veterinary

Medical Center. MSUVMC and the TF each received $2,569. Sponsors included Royal Canin and Veterinary Perinatal Specialties (Whelp Wise).

Featured speakers included doctors Chris Gray, Sarah Shull, John Wilson, Leah Chew, Will Schultz, and Rick Kesler. Also speaking was Karen Copley, RNC/BSN from Veterinary Perinatal Specialties.

Additional reports will follow, but the TF thanks Dr. Julie Cecere at the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine and Dr. Margaret Casal at University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine for their support in planning and delivering two additional CBES programs!
