Learning outcomes: Student will acquire theoretical an practical knowledge concerning the controlling and organising of the reproduction of mammals, birds and fish, including an application of various biotechniques and biotechnologies in reproduction of mentioned animal classes.

Competences: The completion of the course will allow to undertake the Job in units and laboratories dealing with biotechniques in reproduction of various species and classes of animals.

Prerequisites: anatomy, biochemistry, chemistry, zoology, animal physiology

Course content: Biological basis of the controlling of the reproduction of mammals, birds and fish, artificial insemination (collecting, analysis and treatment of semen and its introduction to the reproduction tract of a female), transfer of embryos (selection of donors and recipients, rinsing out of embryos, assessment, storage and introduction to the reproductive tract of recipients), extracorporal fertilization, controlling and development of reproduction cycles, controlling of the offspring sex on the level of gametes and embryos, controlling of fish sex, maturation and culture of oocytes, supported fertilization, extracorporal maturation of embryos, embryonic engineering.
