This webinar, originally presented in May 2020, reviews the progress researchers have made regarding the safety and efficacy of Zona Pellucida vaccines in donkeys. Results were reviewed from two separate experiments. The results from both experiments were rewarding in regards to the immunocontraceptive capabilities of the vaccines.
