 Next Webinar: Sunday September 29th at 7pm eastern
​
Guest Speaker is Charlie F. Scoggin, DVM MS DACT from Rood & Riddle’s Theriogenology Team

He will cover "EYES WIDE OPEN: Questions, Pitfalls, and Guidance in Purchasing Frozen for Successful Use" 

American breeders are commonly challenged by quality issues with frozen semen purchased from brokers, individual owners, and other sources. Whether purchasing in the US or overseas, breeders should have a full understanding of what information to look for and what questions to ask before spending thousands on a subpar dose that doesn't give a good chance at pregnancy. This webinar will address overall questions related to the purchase and use of frozen semen in sporthorse breeding in order to help ensure American breeder success! Topics covered will include industry standards for a frozen dose, interpretation and assessment of progressive motility, straw size variation, and other considerations for purchasing frozen semen. Join us for this presentation and discussion so you're geared with appropriate information before next breeding season! 


​
Dr. Scoggin grew up in Boulder, CO where his parents took part in rodeo and bred running Quarter Horses. Despite this background, he instead aspired to become either a professional basketball player or snowboarder. Subsequent physics lessons inside and out of the classroom eventually changed his mind and steered him back to horses. He attended both graduate and veterinary school at Colorado State University where he obtained a Master of Science degree in Equine Reproductive Physiology in 2001 and a Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine in 2005. He went on to serve a one-year internship at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute, which was then followed by an associate veterinarian position at Pioneer Equine Hospital in Oakdale, CA. In 2008, Dr. Scoggin accepted a position as a resident veterinarian at Claiborne Farm where he practiced until 2015. He became a Diplomate of the American College of Theriogenologists (animal reproduction) in 2012, and later joined the team at Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital in July 2015.
Dr. Scoggin’s professional interests include stallion reproductive physiology and in vitro fertilization (IVF) techniques. Dr. Scoggin enjoys spending time with his family, playing pick-up basketball and flying down hills on a skateboard, snowboard or OneWheel.
