During this period numerous activities related to animal reproduction and reproduction biotechnologies were developed. The LBRA working group has as main research line the development of cryoprotectants and antioxidants, aiming at the cryopreservation of semen of ruminants. In this way, the activities performed during the internship were to accompany Resident Veterinarians and Postgraduates of the Animal Science PPG. The activities were developed in the LBRA and in rural properties located in the region of Teresina-PI and municipalities of Maranhão.
