Theriogenology is the branch of veterinary medicine concerned with reproduction, including the
physiology and pathology of male and female reproductive systems of animals and the clinical
practice of veterinary obstetrics, gynecology, and andrology. Theriogenologists are veterinarians
with advanced training in animal reproduction and obstetrics.

Obstetrics and gynaecology (or obstetrics and gynecology; often abbreviated to OB/GYN, OBG,
O&G or Obs & Gynae) are the two surgical–medical specialties dealing with the female
reproductive organs in their pregnant and non-pregnant state, respectively, and as such are often
combined to form a single medical specialty and postgraduate training programme. This
combined training prepares the practicing OB/GYN to be adept at the surgical management of
the entire scope of clinical pathology involving female reproductive organs, and to provide care
for both pregnant and non-pregnant patients.
