History

Department of Reproduction & Obstetrics is part of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Universitas Gadjah Mada, which was established in 1949 in Yogyakarta. Learning, research, and community service are carried out both at the undergraduate (S1) and professional levels, which include the fields of obstetrics, gynecology, andrology, physiology and reproductive technology in livestock and pets. In the Department of Reproductive & Obstetrics there are obstetrics laboratories, research laboratories, and reproductive technology laboratories. Learning conducted under the Department of Reproduction & Obstetrics for undergraduate students includes topics of Reproductive Physiology, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Fertility and Infertility, and Reproductive Biotechnology.

The Department of Reproduction & Obstetrics has an ambulatory unit that provides services to livestock in DIY. In addition, it also serves animal semen inspection. The Department of Reproduction & Obstetrics also has a continuing education program which includes inseminator courses, pregnancy examination courses, ATR courses, sterility control courses, embryo transfer courses, and refresher courses in the field of animal reproduction.

At present the research being carried out covers the fields of reproductive technology, molecular biology, applied reproduction and dog reproduction.

 

Veterinary Profession Education Program

The Department of Reproduction & Obstetrics handles veterinary profession education in the field of reproduction, which is called Reproductive Co-assistant. The period of Reproduction Co-assistant is 6 weeks, with activities including preliminary lectures, in vitro practice in the laboratory, collection & processing of frozen semen practicum, practice of inspection and handling of livestock reproduction in the field, ending with seminars and final exam. Reproductive counselors are all lecture staffs in the Department of Reproduction and Obstetrics plus an extraordinary lecturer consisting of appointed veterinary practitioners.
