Guest Speakers
Juan C.
Samper, DVM, MS, PhD, Diplomate ACT
Dr. Samper graduated from veterinary school in 1982 and after three years of large animal
practice in Colombia, he joined the theriogenology graduate program at the University of
Minnesota. During his residency at Minnesota, he earned a Masters and a PhD degree in
Theriogenology. His research work focused primarily on semen cryopreservation and
artificial insemination of horses. Dr. Samper became a board-certified theriogenologist in
1990. From Minnesota, he joined the Faculty at the Ontario Veterinary College and after
three years of academia he moved to Vancouver, British Columbia where he started JCS
Veterinary Reproductive Services, his own practice. The practice comprised about 65%
racehorses TB’s and STB’s and 35% other breeds including sport horses. During
his time in British Columbia, Dr. Samper served as a first opinion and referral center for
the Pacific Northwest. Activities during the breeding season included foaling and breeding
management, artificial insemination with fresh, shipped cooled and frozen semen and embryo
transfer. Dr. Samper has lectured and consulted extensively for several breeding farms in
North and South America as well as in Europe. As of March 1st, Dr. Samper will
be an associate professor at Kansas State University and will be coordinating the equine
reproduction program of the VTH. Juan has published extensively in refereed journals
and has authored several book chapters on artificial insemination and stallion physiology.
Most recently he published his book “Equine Breeding Management and Artificial
Insemination”.
Kevin Hankins, DVM
Dr. Hankins graduated from Kansas State University with a DVM in
1996. Kevin then went to Washington State University for a large animal
internship. He joined the faculty in the department of Clinical Sciences in 1997 at
Kansas State University. Currently, he is an assistant professor and is responsible
for the equine field service in the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.
