SERIDA is responsible of the identification of biomarkers predictive of pregnancy and calving outcomes in cattle including deciphering the complex embryo-recipient interactions. SERIDA is developing applications for livestock focused on efficient use of ET in cattle embryo transfer and is providing unique expertise in Metabolomics solutions and Physiology to counteract cattle infertility and improve the efficiency of genomics selection programs.
SERIDA is also participating in the identification of relevant databases, and extraction of meaningful information applicable to animal reproductive technology, leading to identification of relevant metabolites and definition of relevant genotypes and phenotypes and pathways. Additionally, researchers from SERIDA are contributing to the development of “in silico” predictive models for animal reproduction
