Researcher
 

I am a veterinarian and the title of my PhD is: “Study on the physio - chemical properties of cervical mucus in relation to fertility of cows.” My main research is: a) on control of estrous cycle and the determination of the optimal time for Artificial Insemination, b) on in vivo and in vitro embryo production and c) on reproductive management of ruminant, especially cattle and ewe. My research activity concerns the role of certain glycosidase on reproduction and the study of cervical mucus, uterus environment, follicular fluid and oocyte developmental competence.
