معرفی
Volker Krömker serves as a Visiting Professor in the Department of Veterinary and Animal Sciences at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Animal Welfare and Disease Control. With over three decades of expertise, he focuses on bovine health systems, particularly mastitis epidemiology and dairy hygiene management across European and global contexts.
His academic foundation includes:
- 1985-1990: Veterinary Medicine studies at University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover
- 1995: Doctorate (Dr. med. vet.) from University of Veterinary Medicine Hannover
- 2007: Diploma from European College of Bovine Health Management
- 2014: Habilitation in udder health and milk hygiene
Professor Krömker's research centers on mastitis pathogen virulence (especially Streptococcus uberis), risk analysis, non-antibiotic therapies, and lactic acid bacteria applications. His work directly addresses critical industry challenges in antibiotic reduction and sustainable dairy production through evidence-based herd health management.
Recent publications (2024-2025) demonstrate consistent innovation in mastitis treatment alternatives, pathogen genomics (Mycoplasma bovis), transmission dynamics, and practical dairy interventions. These studies reveal growing European collaboration on subclinical mastitis protocols and technological adaptations for artisanal dairy operations.
His recognition includes:
- Veterinary Record Impact Award (2021)
Professor Krömker maintains active industry engagement through farmer-veterinarian communication studies and international consulting. His work involves significant cross-border collaborations with researchers from New Zealand, Germany, Belgium, and other European nations, supported by continuous research funding reflected in his extensive publication record. He contributes to professional development through lectures on antibiotic reduction strategies and clinical mastitis management.
As a certified specialist in milk hygiene (FTA Milchhygiene) and epidemiology (FTA Epidemiologie), he integrates clinical practice with academic research through the European College of Bovine Health Management framework.
