BIO-Genics,
LTD offers a two day, on-location, clinic for the instruction of correct
caprine artificial insemination technique. This class is basic enough in
its format for the new herdsman, and yet offers technical and practical
applications for the veterinarian. AI clinics are taught all over the
United States "on-location" at individual farms, Universities
and club sponsored events. A complete instruction on the Artificial
Insemination of goats is what can be expected when participating in a
BIO-Genics, LTD clinic.
The clinic is conducted in an open forum format to allow all
participants questions to be addressed. In an effort to insure maximum
one-on-one training and attention to all attendees, each clinic is
limited to ten to fourteen participants depending on the scheduled class
size.
