Priceless Livestock: Reproduction research leads to medical breakthroughs
cloned goats

Developments in molecular biology, immunology and genetic engineering have given new dimensions to research on farm animal production. The LSU AgCenter’s Reproductive Biology Center is recognized worldwide as a leader in assisted reproductive technologies for use in livestock improvement, biomedical applications, and propagation of exotic and endangered animal species.

Estrual Behavioral Patterns in Prostaglandin-induced and Naturally Cycling Recipient Females from a Commercial Embryo Transfer Center

The purpose of this study was to determine if the behavioral patterns exhibited by potential recipients during estrus could be used as an indicator of subsequent pregnancy rates following embryo transfer. The success of any embryo transfer operation ultimately resides in the reproductive performance of the recipient females.
