SheepRep Advanced Studies on Improving Sheep Fertility by Using Artificial Means of Reproduction

Coordinator: UNIVERSITATEA DE STIINTE AGRONOMICE SI MEDICINA VETERINARA DIN BUCURESTI (RO)

Artificial insemination (AI) in livestock has made it possible to optimize reproduction efficiency. AI is undoubtedly the management technique that has most contributed to the genetic improvement of livestock in modern animal production. By comparison to the other currently available preservation methods of semen, cryopreservation is an established industry used worldwide for performing AI, as it can preserve cells life undefinitely. The main disadvantage of semen cryopreservation is that freezing and thawing induce several forms of cellular lesions, which reduce dramatically the quality and …

About Seventh Framework Programme (2007–2013)

The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) ran from 2007 to 2013 and was the EU's main research-funding instrument of that period. It mobilised roughly €50 billion across cooperation projects, ERC frontier grants, Marie Curie fellowships, capacity-building actions and Euratom research. FP7 closed to new calls in 2013 but its projects continued for years after under their original grant agreements.

EU contribution: €198k awarded to the consortium. The project runs over approximately 2.6 years from 2012-01-01 to 2014-07-31.
