Research Interests
My research interests lie in the field of animal welfare research. As part of my PhD, I am investigating the influence of different feeding intensities on animal welfare and stress parameters in Holstein cows. To this end, as part of the GreenDairy project, I have, amongst other things, recorded various stress-related physiological parameters and carried out animal welfare assessments using the Welfare Quality® Protocol.
With regard to the issue of wolves in Germany, I have, as part of the mAInZaun project, investigated the physiological effects of wolf-deterrent stimuli on cattle.
In addition to my specialist focus on dairy farming, I am also interested in scientific questions relating to equestrian sports and horse husbandry.
It is particularly important to me to build a bridge between science and agricultural practice through applied research. In my teaching, too, I attach great importance to conveying this connection and inspiring students to recognise the significance of practice-relevant research.
