Abstract

The present project goals to replicate the previous results (improvement of pregnancy rate with Tolerana use in ruminants female) even in equine females too (potential of the product can be extended to mammals class), however with challengers to be supperated: (i) the comprobation of the positive effect of Tolerana in equine reproduction (ET and Al) and (ii) in the technological improvement of production process of functional molecule which goals are (ii.a.) efficacy improvement on the molecule industrial productivity; (ii.b) efficiency improvement on the LPS Decontamination on the terminated product, (ii.c) development of an specific packing for Tolerana and (ii.d) the filling automatization development to the product. The argumentation that base with this questions is better discriminade on the project, but theu are of extremally importance to go to market with Tolerana Bovinos on national and international market and for equine market too. According our history, for the execution of this project we II have cooperation with some partners (principally on the field jobs that needs animals structure, and money to keep and feed them). This format of R&D development has been succesfully. zeven now threre are no similar products on world market, showing the importance of that project and its potential. (AU)
