Registration / Abstracts

Registration numbers are limited and invitation to register is given following peer review of submitted abstracts. If you would like to be considered to attend as a non presenting delegate, please register your interest with louiseholder92@gmail.com giving your full contact details and your area of interest in equine reproduction.

Submission of abstracts for consideration for the Twelfth International Symposium on Equine Reproduction (ISER XI) will be invited online at www.iser-online.org towards the end of 2017. Experimental or clinical research in four areas will be discussed at the Symposium: The Stallion; The Non-pregnant Mare; Conception and Early Development; and The Pregnant Mare and Perinatology. The Symposium will comprise 150 short communications divided approximately equally between oral and poster presentations. The Proceedings of ISER XII will be published as 500 or 1400 word abstracts in a Supplement of 'Journal of Equine Veterinary Science' which will be available at the meeting.

The deadline for submission of abstracts for consideration for ISER XII is 15th January 2018

Please note, a given author may not present more than one communication, whether orally or by poster, but may be co-author on several.

ISER VIII - Fort Collins 2002

The Eighth International Symposium on Equine Reproduction was held at the Colorado State University, Fort Collins, USA, in July 2002. The proceedings are presented in a format different from that of earlier volumes in the series - the length of the abstract was chosen to allow sufficient information to be included to be of benefit to the wider scientific community, while at the same time affording authors the opportunity to add further information for subsequent publication of a full paper. The presentations are divided into four categories: stallion, non-pregnant mare, conception and early development, and pregnant mare and perinatology. The proceedings were edited by Margaret J. Evans, and published by Theriogenology (Theriogenology 2002; 58:191-864).

ISER VII - Onderstepoort 1998

The Seventh International Symposium on Equine Reproduction was held at the University of Onderstepoort in South Africa in July 1998. The proceedings contain the peer-reviewed papers detailing the 80 scientific presentations on stallion, non-pregnant mare, conception and early embryo development, pregnant mare and perinatal development. The proceedings were edited by W.R. Allen, F. Stewart, E.A. Stevens and C. Doberska and were published by Journal of Reproduction and Fertility (J. Reprod. Fertil. Suppl, 56; 2001).

ISER VI - Caxambu 1994

The Sixth International Symposium on Equine Reproduction took place in Caxambu (Brazil) in August 1994. The proceedings were edited by D.C. Sharp and F.W. Bazer, and published by Biology of Reproduction (Biol. Reprod. Mono, 1; 1995). The papers in Equine Reproduction VI are grouped into four categories: perinatology, pregnant mare, non-pregnant mare and stallion, with a review article prefacing each section. The Perinatology section includes papers on fetal endocrinology and the early postpartum foal. The pregnant mare section covers: embryo handling, embryo transfer, development and physiology of the placenta, and subfertility in mares. The non-pregnant mare section features reports on endocrine control of pituitary and ovarian hormones, uterine physiology, and seasonality. The stallion section includes studies on behavior, assessment of seminal and endocrine characteristics, and semen handling techniques.

ISER V - Deauville 1990

The Fifth International Symposium on Equine Reproduction was held in Deauville (France) in July 1990. The proceedings were edited by J.F. Wade, P.D. Rossdale, W.R. Allen and I.W. Rowlands, and published by Journal of Reproduction and Fertility (J. Reprod. Fertil. Suppl. 44; 1991). This volume in the Equine Reproduction Series provides full coverage of research and clinical findings in the physiology and pathology of reproduction in equids. Studies on the maturational changes in oocytes, spermatozoa and young embryos are a feature of this book, which also contains a description of the first successful in vitro fertilisation (IVF) culminating in a live foal.

ISER I - Cambridge 1974

The first International Symposium on Equine Reproduction was held in Cambridge (UK) in July 1974 and was the initiative of Twink Allen with the support of John Hughes, Doug Mitchell, Bill Pickett and Peter Rossdale. The aim of the symposium was to provide a forum for biologists and veterinarians of like interests to exchange and argue their views, to review the present state of knowledge of the subject, to produce guidelines for future research, and to foster international friendship and collaboration. Proceedings were edited by I.W. Rowlands, W.R. Allen and P.D. Rossdale and published as a supplement of the Journal of Reproduction and Fertility (J. Reprod. Fertil. Suppl. 23; 1975). The title was 'Equine Reproduction'.
