UQ School of Veterinary Science
LEADERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE
The University of Queensland’s School of Veterinary Science is a global leader in research into animal reproduction and genetics.
Working collaboratively out of UQ’s world-class laboratories and animal facilities, researchers conduct basic, applied and translational studies into livestock, equine and wildlife reproduction.
With a focus on tropical beef and dairy cattle production, Professors Michael McGowan and Michael Holland, and Dr Gry Boe-Hansen investigate ways to improve the outcome of fixed-time AI, identify and control the major factors affecting reproductive performance of beef and dairy herds, develop non-surgical alternatives to prevent conception in cattle, improve selection of high fertility bulls, and improve the fertilising capacity of stored sperm.
