About
Dr. C.I.V. Manzanilla-Pech is a leading researcher in quantitative genetics and precision livestock farming, with a primary focus on mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from dairy cattle. Her work bridges the gap between high-throughput sensor data and genomic selection, enabling more sustainable dairy production. A standout contribution is her development of a data-driven pipeline for processing sniffer-based gas emission data, published in 2024. This innovative approach addresses critical challenges in raw data handling—such as instrument monitoring, time synchronization, and background concentration estimation—to produce reliable methane records for genetic evaluation. With over 11 citations to this work, her methodology is already shaping best practices in the field. Dr. Manzanilla-Pech’s research is instrumental in advancing our understanding of the genetic architecture of methane emissions, paving the way for breeding strategies that reduce environmental impact without compromising productivity. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers interested in the intersection of animal breeding, sensor technology, and climate-smart agriculture.
