Objectives
- To develop a new eco-safe technology (i.e) pheromone trap for rodent pest management
- To develop Biochemical kit for estrus detection in farm animals for successful artificial insemination, to increase livestock production
- To improve the reproductive efficiency and successful reproduction in wild endangered species, to enhance captive breeding
- To study the diversity in the pheromone / Odarant binding proteins in animals
- To analyse the role of female sex pheromone in adult male neurogenesis
