Theriogenology

Le attività di ricerca sono indirizzate allo studio clinico della sub-fecondità equina, bovina e degli animali d'affezione; allo studio dei dosaggi ormonali ed all'impiego delle Pgf2a e loro sostituti in Ostetricia Ginecologia ed Andrologia Veterinaria; allo studio di protocolli innovativi nell'anestesia Ostetrico-Ginecologica ed Andrologica; allo studio di protocolli innovativi sulla destagionalizzazione e trattamento degli ovi-caprini.

Il gruppo lavora anche su referenza, nell’ambito della Clinica Ostetrica, Ginecologica ed Andrologica Veterinaria, sia per gli animali d’affezione sia per animali in produzione zootecnica.
