Department of Gynecology, Obstetrics & Reproductive Health<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Department intend to offer graduate program leading to Master of Science (MS) in Theriogenology degree. The proposed course curricula and syllabi in Veterinary Science disciplines have been prepared in the light of post graduate (PG) programs in vogue at different Veterinary institutes in Bangladesh and contemporary developments in Veterinary Sciences. The guiding principle of the proposed new approach is to impart comprehensive and practical knowledge by covering all important aspects of the subject area of study at Master\u2019s level. This proposed field of study focuses on activities related to gynecology, obstetrics, andrology, seminology and management of infertility, which are common in Veterinary practices. Students need to understand and acquire knowledge on reproductive physiology, endocrinology, biotechnology and skills in pregnancy diagnosis, collection, evaluation, preservation, transportation of semen and artificial insemination to conduct researches in these areas. Special emphasis will be given to reproductive management program of livestock species and wildlife. The strength of the research group is in assisted reproductive bio-technologies in domestic and wild animals as well as disease management related to the Veterinary reproduction.<\/span><\/p>\n
