Judith Roelofs

Judith Roelofs is an Assistant Professor in Adaptation Physiology at Wageningen University, specializing in dairy cattle research. She holds a PhD from Wageningen University (WU) and focuses on leveraging technology to enhance animal welfare and farm efficiency.

Her research explores:

• Thermoregulation and heat stress: Investigating body temperature dynamics and behavioral adaptations in dairy cows.
• Precision livestock farming: Developing automated systems for estrus detection, health monitoring, and welfare assessment.
• Reproductive management: Optimizing fertility protocols through sensor-based analytics.
• Environmental impacts: Analyzing how climatic factors influence milk yield and animal behavior.

Dr. Roelofs' recent publications emphasize sensor technology applications, climate resilience in dairy systems, and holistic animal welfare strategies. Her collaborative network spans international precision livestock farming initiatives.
