Dr. Eufrocina Atabay is a Scientist II and unit head of the Intellectual Property and Technology Business Management (IPTBM) of the Research and Development Division of DA-PCC. Her works are focused on enhancing the fertility and reproductive performance of livestock in general through embryo in vitro techniques, multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET), cryopreservation of embryos and oocytes, and fixed-time embryo transfer.
Likewise, she spearheaded the team on the use of s*x-sorted semen for FTAI, which resulted in the birth of the first female calf from s*xed semen, named “Liwanag”. Currently, Dr. Eufrocina is involved in a project on semen s*xing to boost local dairy production.
She has also been involved in the development of the Intensified Reproductive Management Program dubbed the Triple E strategy for water buffaloes and other livestock, and has also established an IP-Technology Commercialization office and a system that facilitates the effective translation of research into products and services for the benefit of clients, the general public, and the livestock industry.
