Jeanette Kristensen

Jeanette Kristensen serves as a Researcher at the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, University of Copenhagen, within the Animal Welfare and Disease Control section. Her work focuses on evidence-based veterinary medicine, utilizing national databases such as VetStat to study antimicrobial use and disease dynamics in cattle production systems.

Her academic qualifications include:

• cand.med.vet (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine) from the University of Copenhagen, awarded January 26, 2017.

Research interests span veterinary epidemiology, antimicrobial resistance monitoring, cattle health management, and the application of big data in animal disease control. Her expertise lies in analyzing large-scale veterinary databases to identify risk factors for disease and antibiotic usage, with implications for public health and sustainable livestock farming.

Analysis of her publications from 2017 to 2025 reveals a strong emphasis on cattle health, particularly in dairy and veal production. Key themes include the dynamics of Mycoplasma bovis infections and the determinants of antimicrobial use, often employing longitudinal and registry-based methodologies. Collaborations with governmental and industry partners are central to her research approach.

No scientific awards were documented in the provided materials.

Her research is supported through collaborations with the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration and industry stakeholders, including the Danish Cattle Levy Fund which partially financed her PhD work. She engages with private farmers, veterinarians, and SEGES (part of The Danish Agriculture & Food Council) but does not receive personal remuneration from these partners.

She is actively involved in the Animal Welfare and Disease Control research group at the University of Copenhagen, contributing to projects that bridge veterinary science, public health, and agricultural policy.
