The aim of the course is to gain theoretical and practical knowledge about the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases of the male reproductive system, gain and examination of semen, as well as the possibilities and management of artificial insemination of females using progressive methods of assisted reproduction. The result of the study of this subject will be methodical and methodological readiness for the solution of the dissertation in the field of a specific discipline by including diseases of the male reproductive system and the possibilities of artificial insemination of females and their connection with other disciplines..
