Isaac Jumper

Dr. Isaac Jumper serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathobiology and Population Medicine at Mississippi State University's College of Veterinary Medicine, focusing on evidence-based management strategies to enhance food animal health and production through antimicrobial stewardship.

His academic journey includes:

• Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry with minor in Animal and Dairy Sciences from Mississippi State University
• Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) from MSU College of Veterinary Medicine (2018)
• Residency in Population Medicine (2021)
• Ph.D. in Veterinary Science with concentration in Population Medicine (2023)

Dr. Jumper's research centers on antimicrobial stewardship in beef production systems, developing data-driven approaches for disease risk reduction while preserving antimicrobial efficacy. His work specifically targets production-limiting diseases like bovine anaplasmosis in cow-calf operations through evidence-based husbandry decisions and management protocols that minimize antimicrobial reliance.

His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate consistent focus on epidemiological analysis of beef production systems, with recurring themes in disease management (bovine anaplasmosis, tremorgenic mycotoxicosis), reproductive health (bull breeding soundness, pregnancy diagnosis), and antimicrobial consumption patterns. Emerging work explores thermal stress mitigation in dairy cattle through innovative physiological models and cross-breed comparisons.

Dr. Jumper actively collaborates with Mississippi's agricultural extension services and industry partners through the North Mississippi Research and Extension Center, translating research findings into practical applications for cattle producers across the Southeastern United States.
