Research Statement:
Principal Research Interests Reestablishment of normal reproductive activity in postpartum dairy cows; control of gestation in mares; contraception in companion animals. Primary research emphasis is on the physiological processes involved in the reestablishment of ovarian activity in postpartum cows, with special reference to pathophysiological mechanisms involved in intrauterine infection induced Cystic Ovarian Disease. Specifically our present research includes projects aimed at pinpointing the site of action of lipopolysaccharide on the hypothalamic-hypophyseal-axis in the induction of abnormalities in folliculogenesis and ovulation.
