Didier Raboisson

Didier Raboisson is a Full Professor in Ruminant Population Medicine and Animal Health Economics at the National Veterinary School of Toulouse (ENVT), France. Holding a DVM, MSc, PhD, and Diplomate status in the European College of Bovine Health Management (ECBHM), his career spans from clinical practice (2004-2006) to academic leadership at ENVT since 2006, progressing from contractual assistant to full professor in 2019.

His educational credentials include a Doctor in Veterinary Medicine (2003), ruminant clinical internship (2005), MSc in Agricultural Socio-economics (2007), PhD in Institutional Economics (2011), and HDR accreditation (2017). His research pioneered the DairyHealthSimulator® (DHS®), a stochastic dynamic bioeconomic model optimizing dairy herd management under constraints like antimicrobial use. Key contributions address veterinary workforce shortages, disease cost analytics, and veterinary business models through innovative frameworks like the DODforD herd health approach.

Raboisson's publication portfolio exceeds 75 international peer-reviewed papers, with recent work focusing on antimicrobial reduction strategies, lameness economics, and dairy cooperative development. His research demonstrates consistent interdisciplinary integration of veterinary science, economics, and stochastic modeling, particularly evident in the shift from descriptive disease cost analysis to utility-optimized decision frameworks.

Scientific recognition includes:

• ECBHM Diplomate status (2011)
• HDR accreditation (2017)
• DHS® and App Qost® patents
• Academic editor roles at PlosOne and Frontiers in Veterinary Sciences

As supervisor of 8 PhD students and 6 post-doctorates, Raboisson leads the VetEconomics research group while directing France's continuous training program in bovine population medicine. His grant portfolio exceeds €1.4 million from INRAE, Ministry for Agricultural Sovereignty, ANR, and EU programs. International collaborations span Cornell, Liverpool, and Indian institutions through CEFIPRA and Prezode initiatives, with policy impact evidenced by DGAL working group contributions on veterinary shortages and biosecurity.
