19	Objective of the Course:	The aim of the course is to have knowledge about gamete formation, physiology of fertilization and zygote and embryonic development processes.
20	Contribution of the Course to Professional Development	The outcome of the course is to determine the age of use in breeding on the basis of species for economic profitability in animal husbandry and to use gamete physiology to determine the insemination time to obtain the highest pregnancy rates.

21

Learning Outcomes:

1 To have knowledge about spermatogenesis and oogenesis; 2 Benefiting from gamete physiology in determining insemination times; 3 Interpretation of factors affecting in vivo and in vitro fertilization success rate; 4 Knowledge about sexed semen and embryo gender determination ; 5 The student has knowledge about embryonic development and maternal recognition;
