Research involves basic and applied studies of hormones and their receptors in domestic animal reproduction.
Studies immunizing animals against hormones to control reproduction are presently underway.
We have genetically-engineered vaccines that are hybrids of LHRH and LH and are used for sterilization. We are also evaluating transfer of spermatogonial stem cells from one male to another. This may allow us to immortalize certain high genetic bulls. Our goals are to develop new basic concepts into tools for use by the cattle industry. Evaluation of reproduction in Wagyu cattle.
