EMÜ researchers Andres Valdman and Jevgeni Kurõkin attended the 10th International Ruminant Reproduction Symposium (IRRS) at the Wish Resort Golf & Convention in Foz do Iguaçu – Brazil.

Two senior researchers from EMÜ attended the IRRS meeting in Brazil and presented their work as a poster presentation about "Determinants of cytological endometritis in multiparous Holstein cows".

The International Ruminant Reproduction Symposium (IRRS) is recognized as one of the most prestigious international conferences on ruminant reproduction. In the 10th IRRS 32 speakers among the most recognized scientists from around the world presented cutting-edge topics on reproductive biology and technology in a variety of ruminant species, including cattle, sheep, goats, buffaloes, and camelids. In addition to the plenary lectures 157 posters were presented.
