Christian Nawroth

Dr. Christian Nawroth researches cognitive abilities of farm and zoo animals at Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology, examining how cognition informs welfare practices. His comparative studies span goats, pigs, horses, and great apes.

Core research themes:

• Perception of human cues across species
• Problem-solving and learning flexibility
• Development of cognition-based management tools

Recent work establishes goats as model species for studying complex cognitive processes. He advocates for open science practices in animal behavior research.
