Sharif Aly is a Professor at the Department of Vet Med Population Health & Reproduction, University of California, Davis. His research focuses on cattle health, including calf mortality prevention, adult cattle infectious diseases, and Shiga-toxin producing E. coli. He specializes in statistical methods like mixed models, survey sampling, and reliability studies. Aly holds a Ph.D. in Epidemiology from UC Davis (2009).

• Education: PhD in Epidemiology, UC Davis (2009)

His work bridges veterinary epidemiology and biostatistics, addressing critical issues like antimicrobial resistance in dairy cattle, bovine respiratory disease (BRD), and farm management practices. Recent studies investigate antibiotic use patterns, pathogen transmission dynamics, and environmental factors influencing cattle health.

Key areas of focus include:

• BRD prevention and diagnostic methods
• Antimicrobial stewardship in dairies
• Microbiome analysis in postpartum infections
• Environmental impacts on calf welfare

Aly has collaborated on projects like the BRD 10K study, evaluating BRD-related costs and prevention efficacy. His research emphasizes evidence-based strategies for sustainable dairy practices and public health.
