From Oocytes to Embryos with Kindra Rader

In this episode of Behind the Breeding Podcast by Stallion App, Tabs talks to Assisted Reproductive Technologies expert Kindra Rader about Vita Nova Reproduction Center. We learn about the process of harvesting oocytes from ovaries after the mare has died (postmortum), maturing them in the lab, and then (hopefully) fertilization.
