Samuel Clark

Samuel Clark is an Associate Professor in Animal Genetics at the University of New England, affiliated with the School of Environmental and Rural Science and the Faculty of Science, Agriculture, Business and Law. His work focuses on leveraging genomic technologies to enhance livestock breeding programs.

Research Interests: Dr. Clark's research spans genetic resilience in sheep, genomic selection in beef cattle, and environmental sensitivity in livestock. He investigates how genetic variation interacts with environmental factors to optimize traits like meat quality, feed efficiency, and methane emissions.

Publication Trends: Recent articles emphasize genomic prediction accuracy, genotype-environment interactions, and microbial profiling for health traits. His work includes large-scale studies on Angus and Hanwoo cattle and sheep resilience metrics, often integrating bioinformatics and statistical models.

Collaborative Efforts: Dr. Clark contributes to initiatives like the Southern Multi-Breed Resource Population, which addresses complex phenotypes for genomic selection, and explores the impact of reproductive technologies on breeding programs.
