Research interests:

The working group deals with reproductive medicine in stallions and mares. The main focus is on biotechnology "artificial insemination" and "embryo transfer"

with the thematic focus on:

  •  Cryobiological properties of sperm
  •  Improvement of semen preservation methods
  •  Relationship between sperm quality and fertility
  •  Ovum pick-up (transvaginal follicle aspiration) in the mare
  •  In vitro fertilization (IVF)
  •  Cryopreservation of embryos


Cooperation partner:

  •  Lower Saxony State Stud Celle
  •  German Galopp e.V.
  •  Institut suisse de médecine équine, University of Bern and Agroscope; National Stud Avenches; PD Dr. Dominik Burger
  •  Lewitz Stud
  •  Institute for Animal Breeding and Inheritance Research, University of Veterinary Medicine Hanover Foundation, Prof. Dr. O. Distl, Prof-in Dr. Julia Metzger
