| 530370370 | GnRH | By signaling release of LH, this hormone is used to initiate ovulation and treat cystic follicles. | 1 | |
| 530370371 | FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) | signaled to release by the release of GnRH, stimulates follicular growth | 2 | |
| 530370372 | Estrogen (E2) | behavioral characteristics/changes, occasionally used to increase the chances of seeing a female in heat | 3 | |
| 530370373 | Progesterone (P4) | used to synchronize estrus (by preventing estrous cycle) | 4 | |
| 530370374 | Prostaglandin F2α | used to lyse the corpus luteum therefore bringing a female into heat and used to induce uterine contractions (induce labor/abort) | 5 | |
| 530370375 | Oxytocin | used to assist with uterine contractions during parturition and milk letdown | 6 | |
| 530370376 | Artificial Insemination | delivering viable semen into the female reproductive tract without the presence of a male | 7 | |
| 530370377 | Estrus | standing heat; sexual behavior: stand to be ridden, discharge, swollen vulva, nerousness, vocalizes, paces | 8 | |
| 530370378 | Semen Collection for Boars | dummy and gloved hand | 9 | |

| 530370380 | Semen Collection for Stallions | phantom and artificial vagina | 11 | |
| 530370381 | Semen | evaluated for motility, morphology, and sperm density | 12 | |
| 530370382 | Semen Extension | freezing or fresh; volume increased usually by distilled water | 13 | |
| 530370383 | Embryo Transfer | uses FSH to hyper stimulate a donor female to produce an excessive number of eggs (when fertilized - embryos) | 14 | |
| 530385584 | Estrous Cycle | The time period between estrus. A reproductive cycle characteristic of female mammals in which the nonpregnant endometrium is reabsorbed rather than shed, and sexual response occurs only during mid-cycle at estrus. | 15 |
