RUMIANTEC

From ARQUIMEA, we have organized RUMIANTEC, a congress in which we will discuss the current challenges of artificial insemination in ruminants: the novelties in seminal analysis and treatment and cryopreservation or biosecurity in the centers.

During the conference, we will also delve into new technologies such as automation or artificial intelligence applied to seminal analysis, as well as alternative ways of financing R&D projects.
