Saulo Menegatti Zoca, PhD Candidate

Graduate Student
South Dakota State University

My name is Saulo Menegatti Zoca, I am a Ph.D. candidate at South Dakota State University in the department of animal science expected to graduate in December 2021. I work under Dr. Julie Walker and Dr. George Perry studying bull fertility. More specifically, we are looking into sperm proteins and sperm capacitation to identify new fertility makers for beef and dairy bulls. I got my M.S. degree from the University of Idaho working under Dr. Joe Dalton studying the influence of sperm dosage on bull and herd fertility and I got my veterinary degree from Sao Paulo State University - Botucatu, SP, Brazil.
