Dear Theriogenology Friends,
Clinical Theriogenology journal is making good progress with strong support from the leadership and membership of our organizations (Society for Theriogenology, American College of Theriogenologists, Theriogenology Foundation) and Hannah Street Consulting, Inc. This year, a special issue on Therapeutics in Theriogenology was published, coming after the 2 previous special issues published in 2023 on Urogenital Surgery and Educational Research. The Editorial Team is currently working on publishing a Special Issue on Andrology. The Editorial Team appreciates all of the Guest Editors, Authors, and Reviewers of the Special Issues. Also, this year, 1 conference presentation from the 2023 conference was published (doi.org/10.58292/CT.v17.11037) after peer review. There is always a possibility of creating full manuscripts from abstracts; many have sufficient information to become either a case or research report. From a poster presented at the 2023 conference a case report was published (doi.org/10.58292/CT.v17.12176) this year. Authors are encouraged to consider expanding their abstracts into full manuscripts for publication Clinical Theriogenology.
New this year, the ACT and SFT Abstracts were submitted on the Catalyst platform. Both ACT and SFT received near record numbers of submissions this year, with 102 abstracts accepted for presentation. It has been a personal privilege for me to provide the initial formatting and editing of abstracts presented at the 2025 conference that are also published (in alphabetical order by first author’s last name) in this issue. I wanted to express my profound appreciation to Ms. Beth Gibson in the SFT management office (Hannah Street Consulting, Inc.), as the main ‘point person’ for the conference abstracts. I am also grateful to the American College of Theriogenologists Scientific Abstract Committee (Drs. Karen Wolfsdorf [chair], Jessica Klabnik, Callum Donnelly, Jose Len, Katelyn Waters, and Roberto Palomares [past chair]) and to the Society for Theriogenology Student Abstract Committee (Drs. David Christiansen [chair], Todd Anderson, Cari Chisholm, Jessica Cowley, David Hidalgo, and Margo Macpherson) for their dedication and due diligence in abstract selection. The Editorial Team was impressed with the broad range of topics, techniques, and application of ‘cutting edge’ science reported in the abstracts. Also, the enthusiasm for theriogenology reflected in the student abstracts illustrates the dedication our mentoring colleagues have in our discipline. Abstracts are truly an outcome of enormous amount of time commitment and effort and resources invested by the investigators and their institutions.
Finally, I am grateful to the Clinical Theriogenology Editorial Team [Editor (Dr. Augustine Peter), Copy Editor (Dr. John Kastelic), Production Editor (Ms. Emma Csemiczky)] for their patience with me during my steep learning curve as the Associate Editor.
I look forward to getting your feedback.
