In August, Dr. Claire Card presented a research paper entitled, “Effects of equine arteritis virus — positive semen on mare fertility,” at the Ninth International Equine Reproduction Symposium in Kerkrade, The Netherlands.

Card is a professor in WCVM’s Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences and a diplomate of the American College of Theriogenologists. She supervises the work of graduate student Dr. Tal Raz, who also presented a paper at the symposium that was entitled, “Effect of equine follicle stimulating hormone (eFSH) on pregnancy rate and embryo development in mares.”

As well, Card gave a talk on “Late gestational loss in pregnant mares” and served on a case presentation panel at the Society for Theriogenology’s annual meeting, held in St. Paul, Minn., from Aug. 22-26.
