An in-depth study of aspects of the physiology of reproduction and lactation in monogastric and ruminant animals. The emphasis is placed on applying the understanding of the physiological processes to ...

The reproductive physiology of equines encompasses a complex interplay of endocrine signals, ovarian dynamics and environmental influences that govern fertility in both mares and jennies. Central to ...

Canine reproductive physiology is governed by a complex interplay of hormones that regulate the estrous cycle, ovulation, and subsequent fertilisation. Fundamental to this process is the measurement ...

A hormone first discovered in Japanese quail turns out to play a major role in the mammalian reproductive system, acting on the brain to put the brakes on reproduction. The hormone, dubbed ...

A study of reproductive and lactational physiology in livestock with emphasis on identifying possible means of altering those processes in production animals. The course will include exploration of ...

How animals are able to interpret natural light sources to adjust their physiology and behavior is poorly understood. The labs of Kristin Tessmar-Raible (Max Perutz Labs Vienna, Alfred Wegener ...

The intensification of livestock production systems is a prerequisite to meet the growing demand for animal products. Genetic selection, assisted reproductive technologies and optimized reproduction ...

Gametes are reproductive cells. Male gametes are called sperm. Female gametes are called ova. Fertilisation takes place in the oviduct when the nucleus of a sperm fuses with the nucleus of an ovum.
