Next Meeting
INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CANINE AND FELINE REPRODUCTION
The Seventh Quadrennial ISCFR,
In a Joint Meeting with the 15th EVSSAR Congress (European Veterinary Society for Small Animal Reproduction)
And as a Satellite Meeting to ICAR (International Congress on Animal Reproduction, July 29- Aug 2, Vancouver, BC).
Six half days of plenary sessions, research reports and reviews on reproduction in dogs, cats and exotic carnivores: genetics, physiology, molecular biology, pathophysiology, endocrinology, cryobiology, management, contraception and conservation.
More news about the EVSSAR Grants
We are pleased to announce to our members that two research projects have been selected for the EVSSAR grants.
Results of both studies will be presented at the EVSSAR Congress in 2013
The two selected projects are headed by:
Maria Tamminen Tuire and coll., University of Helsinki / Private Clinic of Mäntsälä
Julianna Thuroczy and coll., Faculty of veterinary science Budapest
New selected papers are available in the Library
