Dr. Dalton's research centers on enhancing artificial insemination success in dairy herds through optimization of sperm dosage, synchronization protocols, heat detection accuracy, AI technician training, and identification of fertility markers. His work bridges practical extension services with advanced genomic investigations.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on both physiological and genetic aspects of cattle reproduction, including genome-wide association studies on conception rates, milk yield, and spontaneous abortion, as well as applied trials on synchronization and insemination techniques. These studies reflect an integrative approach combining field data with laboratory and genomic analyses.
While no specific scientific awards are listed, Dr. Dalton's extensive publication record in high-impact journals such as Theriogenology, Journal of Dairy Science, and BMC Genomics underscores his scholarly contributions. His collaborative research network includes experts in genomics, physiology, and extension across multiple institutions.
As a professor and extension specialist, Dr. Dalton likely mentors graduate students and supports breeding programs through outreach. He leads research efforts at the Caldwell Research and Extension Center, contributing to improved dairy management practices in Idaho and beyond.
