About
Surinder S. Chauhan is a distinguished animal science researcher whose work sits at the critical intersection of dairy cattle welfare, climate change adaptation, and precision livestock farming. Based in Australia, Chauhan has made significant contributions to understanding how heat stress affects dairy cow physiology, behavior, and productivity, with particular emphasis on automated robotic dairy systems. His highly cited 2020 studies — accumulating 89 and 82 citations respectively — established foundational insights into how summer heat events compromise lactating Holstein Friesian cows' respiratory rates, body temperatures, and milk output, while also pioneering the application of artificial intelligence to model milk productivity using environmental and cow-level data across multi-year datasets. More recently, Chauhan has expanded his research portfolio to address sustainability challenges in dairy farming, investigating polyphenol-based feed additives as methane-reduction strategies and exploring genomic breeding values as tools for selecting heat-tolerant cattle. His work at the University of Melbourne's Dookie Robotic Dairy Farm has been especially influential, combining cutting-edge precision agriculture technology with urgent climate resilience questions. With over 180 cumulative citations, Chauhan represents a vital voice in building more productive, sustainable, and climate-adapted dairy systems globally.
