Stefan Gruber

Stefan Gruber is a researcher at the Institute of Livestock Sciences, University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU). His work focuses on applying mid-infrared spectroscopy for health and metabolic trait prediction in dairy cattle, with active participation in international symposia.

• Affiliation: Institute of Livestock Sciences, BOKU
• Role: Researcher in dairy science and spectroscopy applications

Research Interests:Gruber specializes in:

• Precision livestock farming using mid-infrared spectral data
• Genetic and metabolic trait analysis in dairy cows
• Non-invasive disease detection (mastitis, ketosis)
• Feed efficiency and energy balance modeling

Recent publications emphasize spectral region optimization for disease prediction and cross-breed energy balance analysis.

Project Participation:He contributes to the project 'Direct and indirect traits for feed efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions for breeding and herd management' (2023-2026), funded by private institutions.
