South Arica – Italy collaboration : new impetus to reproductive studies of the Faculty of Veterinary Science and the University of Naples

Abstract

A visit to the Faculty by Prof Bianca Gasparrini from the Frederico II University of Naples’ Department of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Productions that will take place from 5 to 13 November is seen by the Section of Reproduction as a crucial opportunity for possible future cooperation between the two institutions. Prof Gasparrini who will also lead a PAS (Production Animal Studies) Research Forum discussion on 9 November, is very involved in reproduction work on cattle and mediterranean water buffaloes in Italy, among other things, in vitro technology. Her visit has been made possible thanks to NRF funding obtained by Dr Giulia Esposito from the Department of Production Animal Studies for collaboration between the two countries. The professor’s visit serves as an opportunity to introduce herself and her work to the department.
