Animal Welfare Research
My research focuses on evaluating and enhancing livestock welfare through an integrative approach that spans animal behaviour, stress physiology, and mathematical modeling of environmental microclimates in facilities and during transport. Additionally, I work on identifying and refining novel welfare indicators for genetic and genomic selection programs, while actively engaging in scientific extension to support smallholders and producers in adopting best farming practices.
