Project
Cryo-preservation
There is a need for adequate methods of cryo-preservation. The project works on the improvement of existing methods for improved efficiency.
Goal
Knowledge and expertise on storage and use of oocytes and somatic cells. Research on transcervical insemination in small ruminants. Research on cryopreservation of semen of small hobby animals.
Results
Medium for freezing of billy goat semen. Catheter and method for non-surgical transcervical insemination of small ruminants. First results in development of methods for cryopreservation of semen from small hobby animals.
