Luciano Caixeta, DVM, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Population Medicine at the College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota. He is actively engaged in research, teaching, and clinical outreach, with a focus on improving the health and productivity of dairy cattle during the critical transition period.
His educational background includes a DVM from Universidade Federal de Goias, Brazil (2008), a Residency in Ambulatory and Production Medicine at Cornell University (2011), and a PhD from Cornell University (2017).
Dr. Caixeta's research centers on metabolic and infectious diseases in dairy cows, particularly hyperketonemia, hypocalcemia, mastitis, and lameness. He employs cutting-edge tools such as automated rumination and activity monitoring systems, microbiome analysis, and omics technologies to understand disease etiology, improve early detection, and evaluate interventions. His work bridges clinical practice with population-level health strategies.
The trends in his recent publications highlight a strong emphasis on precision dairy farming, metabolic health monitoring, microbiome dynamics, and randomized clinical trials evaluating preventive and therapeutic strategies. His work spans both conventional and organic dairy systems.
Scientific Awards:
- Cornell Clinical Fellows, Cornell University (2013)
