Abstract
This news item is about: They both grew up riding horses, joined the polo team as Cornell undergraduates and dedicated their careers to the field of equine reproduction. But each chose a different path: Dr. Doug Antczak '69 became a professor at the College of Veterinary Medicine, where he has conducted groundbreaking research in equine pregnancy, while Walter Zent '59, D.V.M. '63, joined one of the world's top equine practices and specialized in Thoroughbred breeding in Kentucky. Their contributions to the field were recently recognized by the International Symposium on Equine Reproduction (ISER), which presented Antczak and Zent with Lifetime Achievement Awards. They were among five veterinarians and scientists from the United States, Canada and England who were honored this summer at the ISER meeting in Cambridge, England.
