The 3rd CZU Prague hybrid seminar
“Biotechnology in small ruminant reproduction: an international experience”
Dear colleagues,
Dear students,
We were very pleased to welcome you again, either online or in person, to the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague on the occasion of the 3rd Seminar dedicated to the topic of "Biotechnology in small ruminant reproduction: an international experience". We are delighted that many distinguished speakers responded favorably to our call for contributions! We thank all our invited speakers; we thank all the attendees of the seminar! We thank the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague, the Faculty of Agrobiology, Food, and Natural Resources, and the Department of Animal Science for providing the rooms and equipment for organizing the seminar. Furthermore, we would like to express thanks to the company Avantor, which again sponsored this event.
In conclusion, we do believe that our main aims (to give the younger generation of students and scientists an overview of the modern methods currently used in top-level laboratories around the world and to build even tight bonds between several laboratories working in a similar field) were successfully fulfilled, same as in previous years.
On this web page, you can find the presentations given by our invited speakers. Also, the link for the Abstract Book is available on the web page. Please, feel free to distribute it among your colleagues.
We thank you once again! We hope to see you next year to attend the planned 4th CZU hybrid seminar!
Sincerely,
Filipp Georgijevič Savvulidi & Martin Ptáček, Seminar Organizing Committee.
