About
Morten Bjerring is a leading researcher in dairy science, specializing in udder health monitoring and livestock emissions. His work focuses on developing non-invasive, real-time technologies to improve animal welfare and environmental sustainability in modern farming. Bjerring’s highly cited 2010 study on enzyme activity and acute phase proteins in milk as indicators of *E. coli* LPS-induced mastitis (61 citations) pioneered methods for early detection of clinical mastitis, particularly crucial for robotic milking systems where direct human-animal contact is minimized. This research has directly influenced commercial sensor technologies for on-line udder health surveillance. More recently, Bjerring’s 2018 study on ranking cows’ methane emissions using sniffers versus respiration chambers (33 citations) demonstrated the practical viability of on-farm methane monitoring. By validating that sniffer systems in milking robots can reliably rank individual cows’ emissions, he provided a scalable tool for breeding and management strategies to reduce greenhouse gases. His contributions bridge precision livestock farming and environmental impact, offering actionable insights for both animal health and climate-smart agriculture.
