Editor’s note 

Dear theriogenology friends, 

It has been a privilege and pleasure to work with the leaders of our 3 organizations (Society for 
Theriogenology, American College of Theriogenologists, and Theriogenology Foundation) and our 
journal is able to grow under the watchful eyes and support of our leaders. Dr. Charles Franz, Executive 
Director, invites me to participate in the executive board meetings, places the suggestions of the editorial 
board members of Clinical Theriogenology for consideration, and implements them after approval by the 
leaders. Thanks Charles! I do appreciate Dr. John Kastelic’s help in copy editing. Thanks John!  

Starting from this issue, we will have manuscripts published in a reader-friendly layout. Dr. Ahmed 
Tibary, not only created this new layout for us but freely gave his time to work with me to have them 
ready. I am well pleased with this new layout. Thanks Ahmed! We were very careful to catch errors that 
might have crept in because of the conversion from 1 software to another. Despite our best efforts to 
correct them, we would have missed some. Our sincere apologies!  

This new layout calls for high-quality figures. In this regard, there is an important change regarding how 
figures are prepared and submitted with manuscripts (please refer to the updated Authors’ Instructions). 

We will have a similar layout for reviews and abstracts for the conference issue. 

Please feel free to write to me (petera@purdue.edu) or contact members of the editorial board, if you have 
concerns about this new layout or if you have suggestions to improve the quality of our journal.  

Regards, 

Augustine
