Past Experience
After graduating from veterinary school, Dr. Mosallam worked for five years at one of the largest dairy farms in Africa. There he gained extensive experience in dairy production and reproductive management.
Research Area
Dr. Mosallam is looking at improving reproductive efficiency and fertility through applied reproductive technologies. “I am interested in semen preservation and cryobiology, sperm physiology, oxidative stress, reproductive biotechnology, artificial insemination, embryo transfer and strategies to improve male and female fertility.”
His graduate work investigated the effects of antioxidant supplementation, including Coenzyme Q10, on the quality and function of cryopreserved stallion and bull sperm. “More broadly, I am interested in understanding factors that affect gamete quality and fertility and translating those findings into practical strategies to improve reproductive outcomes.”
Specialty Area
Dr. Mosallam has interests in large animal reproduction, reproductive management, assisted reproductive technologies, semen evaluation and preservation, artificial insemination, embryo transfer and reproductive medicine and surgery.
Interesting Fact
Dr. Mosallam also spent a year at a dairy consulting firm, advising dairy operations on reproduction and genetics.
Dr. Mosallam says…
“I was drawn to theriogenology because it uniquely combines clinical medicine, surgery, physiology, reproductive biotechnology, and herd-level management. Reproduction has a major impact not only on individual animal health but also genetic advancement, production efficiency, and the long-term sustainability of animal agriculture.”
