About

M. Duplessis is a researcher whose work centers on the economic and managerial dimensions of precision dairy farming, with a particular focus on the adoption of automatic milking systems (AMS). Their most cited study, "Economic impact of introducing automatic milking system on Canadian dairy farms," provides a critical evaluation of the financial implications of transitioning from conventional milking to AMS, a technology that has seen exponential global growth. By analyzing data from Canadian herds, Duplessis offers practical insights into the cost-benefit dynamics of this automation, helping farmers and industry stakeholders make informed decisions. While their citation count is modest, the work is highly relevant to the dairy sector's ongoing digital transformation. Duplessis’s research bridges agricultural economics and animal science, contributing to a deeper understanding of how technology reshapes farm profitability and labor efficiency. Their findings are particularly valuable for producers considering AMS adoption, as they highlight both opportunities and challenges in modern dairy management.
