About
Claudio Forte’s research lies at the intersection of animal behavior, welfare science, and precision livestock farming, with a particular focus on dairy cattle management. His most-cited work, a comparative study of social behavior in primiparous versus multiparous dairy cows during automatic milking (2023, 8 citations), provides critical insights into how parity influences herd dynamics and adaptation to automated systems. This research is foundational for designing welfare-friendly milking protocols that accommodate the distinct behavioral needs of first-time mothers. Forte’s contributions extend beyond this study, as he systematically investigates how technological interventions—such as automatic milking systems—interact with natural social structures, aiming to reduce stress and improve productivity. His work is notable for bridging ethology and applied animal science, offering evidence-based recommendations for modern dairy operations. With a growing citation footprint, Forte is establishing himself as a key voice in sustainable livestock management, where his findings help farmers optimize both animal well-being and operational efficiency. For students and researchers, his research exemplifies how behavioral observation can directly inform practical, humane farming innovations.
