INVITATION TO INTRODUCTORY LECTURE
Sheep Reproduction: From seasonality to conservation
by Dr Catalina Cabrera, Assistant Professor of Veterinary Reproductive Biology and Animal Breeding, UNIC School of Veterinary Medicine
BRIEF SUMMARY
Understanding the reproductive seasonality of sheep, influenced by genetics and day length, is vital for production optimization. Studying specific breeds’ reproductive patterns is essential to uncover natural and artificial methods for enhancing sheep reproduction, benefiting both production and biodiversity preservation.
These insights lay the foundation for future research, particularly focusing on local breeds, and contributing to broader species conservation efforts.
