BioKapital present at Norway’s largest meeting of animal scientists

This was the 28th time the biannual conference was held. This meeting is the biggest event and greatest networking opportunity for Norwegian livestock and animal scientists, veterinarians and industry involved with agriculture and aquaculture.

This year more than 370 participants attended two days of sessions ranging in topics from animal breeding and reproduction to disease, welfare and housing.

From BioKapital, Randi T. Garmo presented results from a study on the effects of teat shape on the incidence of mastitis in cattle, and Elisabeth Kommisrud presented the SpermVital technology for semen processing.

BioKapital scientists also contributed two posters to the poster session (in Norwegian):

• ”BioKapital AS – kommersialisering av forskning innen landbruk og akvakultur” (BioKapital AS – commercialization of R&D in agriculture and aquaculture)
  
• ”Kjønnsseparert sæd fra NRF-okser – inseminasjonsresultater i Norge” (Sex-sorted semen from Norwegian Red bulls – insemination results in Norway)*

(* This poster was awarded "Best Poster" at the meeting)
