Cattle, dairy and beef
Dr. Mario Lefort received his degree in veterinary medicine from the Université de Montréal in 1979. He immediately started his veterinary practice in Ormstown, Québec, with Dr. John Whitehead.
Very early in his career, he became interested in bovine herds’ health and also in embryo transfer. He was one of the first veterinarians in the province of Quebec to freeze bovine embryos for direct transfers.
