About

With a pre-Bologna degree in Zootechnical Engineering (1995) and a PhD in Veterinary Sciences (2010), I develop my research activity mainly in the areas in which I also teach, currently as Associate Professor, of Animal Reproduction and Pig Production. As topics of continued interest I mention: local pig breeds, pig reproduction, piglets, colostrum and sow's milk and precision pig farming. Currently my research focus is on immunocastration, use of alternative feeds and artificial insemination of pigs, mainly in the Alentejano (Iberian) pig breed.
