Animal Production Science Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab exploring the mechanisms of reproductive function in ruminant livestock.

AboutAbout the lab
Putting livestock's innate physiology to work in production.
The Animal Production Science Lab works to elucidate the physiological functions that livestock naturally possess, with the aim of linking its findings to higher livestock productivity.
In particular, the lab aims to clarify the mechanisms that control reproductive function, which bears directly on increasing livestock numbers, and to develop technologies for efficient reproduction.
Using goats and cattle as research subjects, the lab studies the biological phenomena of ruminant livestock.
The lab is located at Togo Field (the University Farm) of the Field Science Center for Education and Research, attached to the Graduate School of Bioagricultural Sciences.
Key terms
- Ruminant livestock
- Livestock that ruminate, such as goats and cattle. This lab studies goats and cattle.
- Reproductive function
- The physiological functions involved in producing offspring, which bear directly on increasing livestock numbers.
