Best Researcher Award
Catherine Renaudin
University of California, Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, United States
Catherine Renaudin is a veterinary researcher affiliated with the University of California, Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, United States[1]. She is presented here in the Best Researcher Award category of International Academic Achievements & Awards, in recognition of her work in equine reproductive ultrasonography and related veterinary science.
Abstract
This article summarises the scholarly profile of Catherine Renaudin, whose research centres on equine reproduction, particularly ultrasonographic assessment of the mare and fetus. Her publications address fetal biometry, gestational age prediction, fetal presentation and posture, and the follicular environment relevant to in vitro embryo production [2][3]. Bibliometric indicators from Scopus are presented alongside representative recent publications to document her suitability for recognition.
Keywords
- Equine reproduction
- Fetal ultrasonography
- Gestational age prediction

Introduction
Veterinary reproductive medicine depends on accurate, non-invasive methods for monitoring pregnancy and fetal development. In horses, ultrasonography allows clinicians to estimate gestational age, evaluate fetal growth and identify abnormalities. Renaudin works within this field at the University of California, Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, a clinical and teaching setting where research is closely linked to patient care [1].
Research Profile
According to Scopus, Renaudin (Author ID 6701634807) has authored 23 indexed documents that have received 422 citations, with an h-index of 10 [1]. Her subject area is Veterinary Science and Veterinary Medicine. Her ORCID record lists recent journal articles in Theriogenology, Journal of Equine Veterinary Science and Reproduction in Domestic Animals, as well as a preprint on fetal presentation and posture.
Research Contributions
Her recent work contributes to equine fetal assessment and reproductive technology in several areas:
- Gestational age prediction: a study with co-authors on estimating gestational age in Warmblood, Standardbred and Thoroughbred horses using four fetal biometric parameters [3].
- Fetal limb and bone development: transrectal ultrasonographic assessment of the fetal distal limb in Quarter Horses [2].
- Fetal presentation and posture: a case report on the clinical importance of ultrasonographic evaluation of in utero fetal presentation, position and posture [4].
- Assisted reproduction: collaborative work on the hormonal environment of equine follicles aspirated for in vitro embryo production [5].
Publications
Selected recent publications include:
- Renaudin et al. (2027). Transrectal ultrasonographic assessment of the equine fetal distal limb. Theriogenology [2].
- Renaudin, Picandet & Kass (2025). Prediction of gestational age in Warmblood, Standardbred and Thoroughbred horses. Reproduction in Domestic Animals [3].
- Renaudin et al. (2026). Ultrasonographic assessment of in utero fetal presentation, position and posture. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science [4].
- Malin et al. (2026). Intrafollicular hormonal environment of equine follicles. Journal of Equine Veterinary Science [5].
Research Impact
The 422 citations recorded in Scopus indicate that her work is read and referenced within the veterinary literature [1]. Reference tables for fetal measurements are directly useful to equine clinicians, who rely on them to evaluate pregnancy progression. Publication in specialist journals such as Theriogenology and Journal of Equine Veterinary Science places her findings before practitioners and researchers in animal reproduction.
Award Suitability
The Best Researcher Award at International Academic Achievements & Awards recognises sustained research output and practical relevance. Renaudin’s publication record, citation count and h-index, together with the clinical applicability of her ultrasonographic studies and her collaborative participation in reproductive research, support her nomination [1].
Conclusion
Catherine Renaudin has built a focused research record in equine reproductive ultrasonography, combining fetal biometry, clinical case reporting and collaborative work in assisted reproduction. Her recent publications continue this line of inquiry and contribute reference data and clinical insight for equine veterinary practice [3][4].
