Course Overview

The knowledge within the animal reproduction context is new. Still, there are enormous possibilities to apply the reproductive biotechnologies using controlled follicular development and ovulation in the field. And it is noteworthy that the Department of Animal Reproduction has a line of research related to the theme which is coordinated by the professors who are proposing this course.

Learning Achievement

Study in detail the endocrinological aspects of follicular development and ovulation empathizing the employment of the synchronization biotechnology for timed reproductive programs. The objective is also to develop in the graduate the capacity of critical analysis of issues related to the theme.
