Dr. Claudia Barbosa Fernandes graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the Londrina State University - Brazil (1999). She then completed a residency in Large Animal Internal Medicine, Surgery, and Reproduction at the Veterinary Hospital of Londrina State University (2002). She then finished a masters degree in 2004 and a PhD in 2008 both in Animal Reproduction at the Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science College UNESP Botucatu - SP - Brazil. Her sabbatical year was on Gluck Equine Research Center University of Kentucky USA (2015/2016). Currently, Dr. Fernandes is an associate professor of veterinary obstetrics at the Department of Animal Reproduction at the School of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science University of São Paulo - Brazil, where she is the head of the Laboratory for the Study Pregnancy and Peripartum in equids (LEPPE) since 2009.

Cloning represents one of the major scientific breakthroughs in animal biotechnology, enabling not only animal production and reproduction, preservation of endangered species and production of cells and tissues to be for therapeutic usages. In equine species, cloning efficiency is considered low, around 0,1% to 15% of pregnancies result in viable foals. Studies demonstrate a diversity of …
Glucose metabolism adapts to gestation and lactation in several species, including equine. This adaptation involves both progressive physiological development of insulin resistance in target tissues and the increase in insulin secretion by pancreatic cells. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia along with obesity or increased regional adiposity are the three main components of Equine Me…
The improvement of current gestational and neonatal assessment models and development of new methodologies should help to predict the future development of foals in the best functional performance horses. Thus some studies have related placental characteristics with the size and weight of the foal at birth, while others have demonstrated the existence of a positive correlation between the…

Among the assisted reproduction techniques used in horses, commercial cloning is one of the biotechnologies that helps to preserve genetic with high value and representativeness in the equine industry. However, this biotechnique still has space for improvement in terms of efficiency and reducing losses during the reproductive process. The existence of placental alterations and anomalies i…
Currently, breeding of horses are adopting the use of prenatal evaluation for monitoring of pregnant mares, search recognition of changes in order to have an early approach, minimizing risks during pregnancy. This study aims to establish standard to values to be used in the monitoring of normal pregnancies and determine indicators of placental dysfunction and fetal distress that may infl…
The research project aims to consider the esterologia, morphometry and the receptors expression for growth factors VEGF and PlGF (VEGFR-1/Flt-1 and VEGFR-2/KDR) in the corioalantoideana membrane in mares, whit the aim to correlate variables response. The study will be conducted through the monitoring fifty mares deliveries of Thoroughbred race on a horse farm in the city of Bage - Rio Gra…

Placentitis is a common cause of abortion in late pregnant mares and poses a significant threat to fetal and neonatal viability. Several bacterial agents are commonly associated with the occurrence of placentitis with Streptococcus equi subsp. zooepidemicus predominating. Streptococci are thought to enter the uterus via the cervix through an ascending vaginal infection. Placentitis typica…
