(2-minute video) The Reproductive Biology Center in St. Gabriel is home to research that benefits health and fertility of both livestock and humans. The center has a history of firsts in reproductive technology including producing calves from 40-year-old frozen bovine semen and a heart medication in the milk of transgenic goats.
