Dina Linde

Dr. Dina Linde is a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Animal Science, University of Hohenheim, Germany, focusing on ruminant microbiome interactions. Her work explores how nutrition influences host-microorganism dynamics in livestock, particularly cattle. She contributes to projects like MethaBreed (methane reduction in dairy cows) and WiMiQ (host-microbiome energy metabolism studies).

• B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in Animal Science from the University of Pretoria, South Africa
• Technical scientific support role at Envarto, South Africa (2021-2025)

Her research integrates microbiome analysis, nutritional interventions, and metabolic profiling to address sustainability in livestock systems. Publications highlight rumen microbiome clusters and physiological adaptations during calving and lipopolysaccharide challenges. Key collaborations include institutions like FLI Braunschweig, University of Bonn, and Justus Liebig University Giessen.
