About
Monika Johansson is a leading researcher in dairy science, with a focus on the microbial ecology and quality of raw milk. Her work centers on how farm management systems—particularly milking routines and automation—shape the microbial communities and biochemical properties of bulk tank milk. In her highly cited 2021 study (26 citations), Johansson demonstrated that premilking routines and milking system type are primary drivers of microbial variation in bulk tank milk, a finding with direct implications for dairy hygiene and shelf-life. Her earlier 2017 study (23 citations) further established that automated (robotic) and conventional milking systems produce distinct compositional and enzymatic profiles in milk, challenging assumptions about uniform milk quality across farm types. By linking on-farm practices to measurable milk outcomes, Johansson’s research provides evidence-based guidance for producers seeking to optimize milk safety and processing characteristics. Her work is essential reading for students and researchers in dairy technology, food microbiology, and precision livestock farming, offering a clear view of how modern automation interacts with traditional management to influence the final product.
