Research and Activities

Poultry Production and Physiological Approaches

Poultry production consider a major intrest allover the world because of its products. Meat and eggs are main sources of human nutrition. Ensuring physiological status of the birds under unsuitable condition (malnutrition, bad management, climate stress, etc.) will guarantee feasible and safe production beside good animal welfare.

Rabbit Physiological Approaches

The control of rabbit reproduction has experienced a great change in the last decade, mainly as a consequence of the development of new techniques such as artificial insemination at commercial level. This technique allows new systems of production such as "cycled production": all the does of a same batch are inseminated at the same day. The true fertilizing potential of an ejaculate can only be determined after insemination, but this practice is time-consuming and expensive. Therefore, laboratory assays have been developed to estimate seminal quality in vitro and correlate seminal quality parameters with fertility in vivo.
