With over 30 years of academic career, she has established herself as a leading researcher in dairy cattle health, particularly focusing on mastitis, digital dermatitis, and reproductive disorders.
Her research interests span veterinary epidemiology, antimicrobial use in dairy farming, herd health management, and disease prevention strategies. Dr. van Werven's work consistently addresses practical challenges faced by dairy farmers while maintaining scientific rigor. She has made significant contributions to understanding digital dermatitis management, udder health, and the economic implications of reproductive disorders in dairy herds.
Analysis of her recent publications reveals a strong focus on practical veterinary solutions, with particular emphasis on non-antibiotic treatments for foot disorders, mastitis diagnostics, and the complex relationship between farm management practices and animal health outcomes. Her work frequently examines the human dimensions of veterinary medicine, including farmer behavior and attitudes toward disease prevention.
Dr. van Werven maintains an extensive collaborative network across European research institutions and has supervised numerous graduate students throughout her career. Her research has been consistently funded through competitive grants that support translational veterinary science with direct applications to dairy farming practices.
She actively contributes to veterinary epidemiology through her position at Utrecht University, where she participates in both teaching and research activities focused on improving dairy cattle health and welfare through evidence-based approaches.
