The forms of reproductive technology that have been, are being, and continue to be developed massively in Indonesia are artificial insemination, estrus synchronization, and genetic mapping.
Prof. Agustina Dwi Wijayanti in her speech delivered about the Role of Veterinary Pharmacokinetics and Therapy in Global Health (One Health). She conveyed that veterinary pharmacokinetics has a contribution as a basis for determining the optimal dosage of drugs for animals, resulting in an effective dose and duration of drug administration to kill microbes completely. The role of pharmacokinetics together with veterinary pharmacodynamics will inhibit the occurrence of AMR (Antimicrobial resistance) by ensuring that microbes will be killed and preventing the formation of resistant strains. In terms of food safety, the role of veterinary pharmacokinetics is to provide data related to the rate of elimination, drug half-life, withdrawal time (drug stop time), and determine the maximum residue limit of drugs used for animal health so that they are safe for consumption.
