Reasearch
We focused on genomic immunity during pregnancy and bovine genetics; we are also starting a new line of research in identifying heat resistance genes in cattle. By integrating genomic data, environmental variables, and phenotypic traits, the research aims to enhance livestock resilience and biochemicals blood markers. Our research aims to bridges molecular genetics with practical applications in animal breeding, sustainable agriculture, and climate adaptation.
