Jordan Thomas is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Animal Sciences at the University of Missouri, part of the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources (CAFNR). He earned his Ph.D. in Animal Sciences with a focus on Reproductive Physiology from the same university in 2017. His research focuses on enhancing beef cattle farm profitability and sustainability through reproductive management technologies, including estrous cycle control and reproductive synchronization protocols. The Thomas lab actively collaborates with initiatives like the National Center for Applied Reproduction and Genomics (NCARG) and the Center for Regenerative Agriculture to advance applied research and education.
Dr. Thomas teaches courses on Reproductive Management (AnSci 4384) and Beef Production and Management (AnSci 4975). He coordinates the breeding programs for the University of Missouri Agricultural Experiment Station Research Center herds and is involved in outreach programs such as the Show-Me-Select Replacement Heifer Program. His work emphasizes improving artificial insemination success rates, optimizing estrus detection methods, and leveraging genomic predictions for genetic improvement in cattle.
Research highlights include studies on multi-sire artificial insemination, sex-sorted semen applications, and synchronization protocols for postpartum cows. His lab’s efforts aim to bridge gaps between scientific advancements and practical industry applications, particularly in regenerative agriculture and reproductive efficiency.
