About
R. Mansfeld is a veterinary researcher specializing in dairy cattle health, with particular expertise in metabolic disorders, udder health, and herd management in dairy production systems. Working primarily within the context of Bavarian dairy farming, Mansfeld's research addresses critical challenges facing modern dairy operations, combining epidemiological methods with practical diagnostic approaches. Among Mansfeld's most influential contributions is a 2018 study employing cluster analysis to identify poor metabolic adaptation syndrome (PMAS) during early lactation in dairy cows, a methodological advance that moves beyond the limitations of traditional hyperketonemia-based detection. This work has garnered 43 citations, reflecting its significance to veterinary and animal science communities. Mansfeld has also made notable contributions to udder health research, including a highly cited 2022 cross-sectional study evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of automatic milking systems for detecting clinical mastitis across Bavarian herds (23 citations), directly informing precision livestock farming practices. Additional work examining the prevalence and risk factors for udder skin diseases and edema further demonstrates a commitment to comprehensive herd health surveillance. Collectively, Mansfeld's research provides dairy farmers, veterinarians, and industry practitioners with evidence-based tools to improve animal welfare and production efficiency.
