Synopsis
Poor livestock reproduction in Malaysia has long been considered and resulted in low animal production in meeting the national demand. Therefore, this research programme aims to address the many issues on poor reproductive performance in livestock and other animal species.
Efficient reproduction is one of the key important factors in animal production and this can be achieved by implementing animal biotechnology as well as routine reproductive monitoring of the animals. It is hoped that issues on livestock reproduction are resolved following the implementation of advanced and efficient animal biotechnology. Keywords: biotechnology, veterinary reproduction, livestock.
