معرفی
Yvette de Haas is a Project Manager and researcher at Wageningen University & Research within the Animal Breeding & Genomics group. Holding a doctoral degree (dr.ir.), she serves as a co-promotor for PhD students, indicating her academic role in supervision. Her work is integral to advancing genetic solutions for reducing methane emissions in dairy cattle.
Her research spans several key areas:
- Methane emissions and genetic selection for lower emissions
- Genetic parameters of dry matter intake, body weight, and milk production
- Phenotyping innovations using automatic milking systems and mid-infrared spectra
- Genomic analysis of complex traits in dairy cattle
Recent publications (2024-2025) focus on refining methane phenotypes, estimating genetic parameters, and participating in global initiatives like the Global Methane Genetics Initiative. These efforts aim to develop accurate genetic evaluations for methane traits to incorporate into breeding programs.
Dr. de Haas has supervised 4 students and currently leads active projects including 'B11 Breeding bulls' and 'Participatory flagship', which are dedicated to accelerating genetic progress for reduced methane emissions in dairy cattle through collaborative research.
