About the course

The reproduction group includes Drs. Wiltbank and Fricke who have independent laboratories but collaborate on a variety of research projects and work together to train graduate students. Dr. Wiltbank works in basic and applied areas focused on improving fertility in dairy cattle and understanding mechanisms underlying reproductive processes. Dr. Fricke works in more applied areas of reproduction to understand physiology and develop strategies for practical use to improve reproduction in dairy cattle. Thus the graduate program spans basic as well as applied areas of reproduction, endocrine physiology, interactions between nutrition and reproduction, and development of hormonal synchronization protocols to improve reproductive performance.
