Neal Schrick

Professor & Head | Animal Science

Specialization: Beef and Dairy Cattle Reproductive Physiology and Endocrinology

Overview

My research focuses primarily on reproductive physiology and endocrinology with emphasis on environmental and management factors related to embryonic/fetal mortality with assisted reproductive technologies, morphology changes in semen quality, and deviations in estrous cyclicity. My teaching focus includes Advanced Reproductive Techniques (ANSC 420) and Beef Management (ANSC 481). My Extension priorities center around the Livestock and Forages Leadership Team and UTBeef.com.

Research Focus

Research focuses on reproductive physiology and endocrinology with emphasis related to embryonic/fetal mortality with assisted reproductive technologies, morphology changes in semen, and deviations in estrous cyclicity in cattle.

Research Questions
  • Reproduction in beef and dairy cattle has the largest impact on economic efficiency for our producers. Our research questions focus on causes of embryonic/fetal loss, alterations in semen morphology, and deviations in estrous cyclicity.
