The Department of Theriogenology was established in 2020.The word “theriogenology” was created by combining therio (beast, animal), gen/genesis (beginning, birth, reproduction), and ology (study of). Theriogenology is the branch of veterinary medicine that focuses on reproduction, including the physiology and pathology of male and female reproductive systems in animals and the clinical practice of veterinary obstetrics, and gynecology.
