动物科学生理学博士

在生殖生理领域，研究项目包括配子和胚胎发育，新鲜和冷冻牲畜精液中的生育能力标记，小母牛的营养和青春期相互作用，利用超声检查改善牲畜妊娠管理，发情和排卵同步程序等方面的研究。用于牲畜管理以及广泛管理体系对奶牛繁殖效率的影响。在泌乳领域，研究项目集中于研究乳腺炎与生殖的相互作用以及饮食对乳房组织功能的影响。学生可以选择动物科学专业，并将他们的课程和研究项目集中在生理学领域。另外，学生可以选择与生理学共同专业一起攻读动物科学专业。在这种情况下，主修课程和副修课程都将在学生的毕业成绩单上指定。
In the reproductive physiology area, research projects include investigations of gamete and embryo development, fertility markers in fresh and frozen livestock semen, interaction of nutrition and puberty onset in heifers, use of ultrasonography to improve management of pregnancy in livestock, estrus and ovulation synchronization programs for livestock management and the effect of extensive management systems on the reproductive efficiency of dairy cattle. In the lactation area, research projects focus on the investigation of the interaction of mastitis on reproduction and the effect of diet on breast tissue function. Students can select to major in Animal Science and focus their coursework and research project in the physiology area. Alternatively, students can choose to pursue a major in Animal Science with a co-major in Physiology. In this case, both the major and co-major programs will be designated on the student's graduate transcript.
