· Research, scholarship, or creative activity highlights
o Dr. Duran’s research interests focus on improvements to reproductive efficiencies in cattle and sheep. The study of hormonal treatments in combination with nutritional supplements play a key role in understanding the association and impacts that nutrition has on reproduction. Additionally, Dr. Duran plans to investigate heat stress in sheep and cattle to further understand how heat stress alters reproductive efficiencies and investigate potential mitigation strategies.
