About
Maddalena Zucali is a leading researcher in precision livestock farming and dairy science, with a focus on the health, welfare, and behavior of dairy cows in automated milking systems (AMS). Her work bridges animal science and data-driven technologies, using text mining and sensor-based analysis to extract actionable insights from large-scale farm data. Zucali’s research has been instrumental in understanding how AMS adoption—now spanning over three decades—affects cow well-being, milking efficiency, and farm management. Her 2024 paper, “Unlocking insights: text mining analysis on the health, welfare, and behavior of cows in automated milking systems,” has already garnered 4 citations, reflecting its timely relevance. By synthesizing trends from growing scientific literature, Zucali highlights both the advantages of AMS, such as reduced labor and increased milk yield, and the challenges related to animal behavior and health monitoring. Her contributions are shaping evidence-based guidelines for sustainable dairy farming, making her work essential for researchers and practitioners aiming to optimize both productivity and animal welfare in modern dairy systems.
