Jamie E. Larson

Dr. Jamie E. Larson is a Professor and Assistant Director of MAFES Research at Mississippi State University. She holds a PhD and MS in Animal Science from the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and a BS from Iowa State University. Her research integrates reproductive physiology, endocrinology, and livestock management, with emphasis on optimizing cattle fertility through advanced technologies.

Research interests focus on:

• Reproductive technologies in beef/dairy cattle (estrus synchronization, embryo transfer)
• Hormonal regulation of fertility (progesterone, prostaglandins)
• Impacts of nutrition and toxicology on reproduction
• Innovative livestock monitoring systems

Her recent publications (2014–2021) predominantly explore:

• Hormonal therapies for fertility enhancement
• Advanced estrus detection/synchronization methods
• Embryo transfer efficacy
• Physiological impacts of environmental stressors

She mentors graduate students including Bakeerah Abdul-Rahmaan, Tate Johnson, and Kaitlin Brumbelow. Collaborative work spans institutions like the University of Minnesota and Kansas State University.
