Our state-of-the-art equipment includes laparoscopic-assisted embryo collection and transfer apparatus for small ruminants, universal transcervical insemination endoscope (STORZ) for small animals, and oocyte aspiration equipment for cattle.

Our theriogenology team actively participates in the WSU Center for Reproductive Biology , an inter-institutional program involving 26 departments at WSU (Pullman, Spokane, Tri-Cities, Vancouver and Puyallup campuses), University of Idaho, Central Washington University, Montana State University, University of Washington, Spokane Community College, University of Texas San-Antonio, and East Carolina University. Altogether, the Center includes approximately 85 faculty and over 270 students, postdoctoral fellows, and technical staff, making it one of the largest reproductive biology centers in the world.
