In this competition, one of the students of the Master of Animal Science Study Program, FPP UNDIP, Mawakia Anwar, was selected as one of the finalists and won favorite poster and runner up in the field of biology. The title of the invention that was contested and won the title of favorite poster and runner up in the biological field was “Design of a Sex Detector Based on Magnetic Field Values in Cow Foetus”.
