FORT COLLINS - Construction has begun on a 12,200-square-foot Equine Reproduction Laboratory at Colorado State University less than a year after fire destroyed the original main laboratory building. <\/p>\n
For 30 years, researchers at the Equine Reproduction Laboratory have developed reproductive techniques benefiting horses and preserving bloodlines. Multiple techniques used today in human and animal reproduction assistance were pioneered at the laboratory, including semen freezing and cooling, embryo transfer and other advanced reproductive procedures. <\/p>\n
Despite the fire, client services, teaching and research activities have continued in other buildings on the grounds. More than 500 client horses are examined annually at the ERL. <\/p>\n
Construction is expected to be completed by March 2013 in time for the main part of the breeding season. <\/p>\n
Insurance proceeds will cover some construction costs, but fundraising for the project is ongoing.
