Tony Bruinjé

Assistant Professor of Dairy Production

Biography

I'm passionate about integrating scientific principles with practical applications to support data-based decision-making in the evolving dairy production.

My research program focuses on dairy cattle health, reproduction and application of precision technologies to enhance herd management efficiency. I'm interested in developing practical strategies to monitor the adaptation of cows to transition from the pre- to the postpartum periods and in better understanding the links among transition cow health, fertility and productivity.
