About
Karin Orsel is a leading veterinary epidemiologist whose research focuses on the health and welfare of dairy cattle, with particular emphasis on lameness, infectious disease control, and the management of automated milking systems (AMS). Her work bridges the gap between on-farm management practices and animal well-being, providing actionable insights for producers and veterinarians. In her highly cited 2021 study, Orsel identified critical farm-level factors associated with lameness prevalence in AMS herds, demonstrating how impaired locomotion reduces cows' voluntary milking frequency, thereby impacting both productivity and milk quality. This research has garnered over 20 citations and is pivotal for optimizing AMS success. Beyond lameness, Orsel has made significant contributions to understanding bovine tuberculosis and Johne's disease transmission, shaping regional control programs. Her work is characterized by large-scale field studies and collaborative approaches, earning her recognition as a key voice in dairy health management. With a career spanning over two decades, Orsel's research continues to inform evidence-based welfare standards, directly benefiting the dairy industry's sustainability and animal care practices.
