The internship was initially carried out at the Fazenda Sucupira experimental field - Embrapa Recursos genéticos e Biotecnologias, Km 5 of DF 001, Riacho Fundo II and was then completed at the Animal Andrology Laboratory, in the Department of Veterinary Medicine at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (ANDROLAB/DMV/UFRPE), under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Gustavo Ferrer Carneiro during the period from 02/11/2023 to 16/01/2024. Throughout the internship, it was possible to participate in the routine of Fazenda Sucupira and the ANDROLAB routine, accompanying and assisting in carrying out the equine reproduction experiment, with an emphasis on follicular control, artificial insemination in horses, equine embryo lavage, semen collection and freezing. It was also possible to follow other research activities carried out at the internship site and with other species.
