Dinesh Dadarwal Assistant Professor, Department of Large Animal Clinical Sciences

Research Area(s)

  • Food animal theriogenology

Profile

  • B.V.Sc.&A.H., CCS Haryana Agricultural University, 1999
  • M.V.Sc., Rajasthan Agricultural University, 2001
  • Ph.D., University of Saskatchewan, 2012
  • Diplomate, American College of Theriogenology, 2017

Teaching and Clinical Areas

Dr. Dadarwal teaches undergraduate farm animal reproduction, cow palpation labs and is involved in clinical rotations (large animal imaging, neonatal management and bovine field service). He focuses mainly on cattle but also provide some reproductive services for small ruminants and camelids.

Research Interests

Dr. Dadarwal is developing a research program on the mucosal immunity of bovine genitalia with regards to different physiological as well as pathological conditions. He is currently focussing on the interactions between the uterine microbiome and cellular as well as molecular aspects of the bovine uterus. He has an active research on uterine cytokines and endometritis in cows. He also conducts clinical research on estrus synchronization in cattle, factors that influence bovine oocyte competence and ultrasonographic imaging of reproductive pathologies.

Bio

Dr. Dadarwal gained his academic teaching and clinical experience at Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University as an Assistant Professor (2002-2007, 2013) and then at University of Saskatchewan as a resident (2014-2016). He has recently joined as a faculty member (Assistant Professor, Food Animal Theriogenology) in the Large Animal Clinical Sciences WCVM (Jan 2017).

He is a member of one reproductive health research group (http://www.usask.ca/groups/onereproductivehealth/).
