Dr. Schukken

My current research interests are involving udder health in well managed dairy herds, an approach based on understanding epidemiology and pathobiology of the disease. Understanding population dynamics of infectious diseases in animal populations. Application of epidemiological, statistical and mathematical methods to animal disease research.
