License in Biotechnology: Track: Animal Biotechnology (LAB)
Responsible: Ben Achour Harrabi Nahed
Strengths:
The License in Animal Biotechnology is a program covering:
- The fundamental and applied areas of Animal Biology: Animal Biology and Physiology, Animal Biotechnology, Protein Engineering and Animal Embryology, Reproductive Biology and Animal Development, Phylogenetic Diversity, Animal Nutrition, Basics of Animal Production…
- Educational and practical training prepares students to acquire basic knowledge of bovine reproductive physiology techniques. Students will gain scientific, technical, and practical skills in in vitro embryo culture technology and artificial insemination through a well-targeted curriculum.
