About
Torben Larsen is a leading researcher in veterinary immunology and dairy science, with a primary focus on udder health and mastitis diagnostics. His work centers on developing non-invasive, real-time monitoring techniques for dairy cattle, particularly in automated milking systems where human-animal contact is limited. Larsen’s major contribution lies in identifying and validating biomarkers—such as enzyme activity and acute phase proteins in milk—that serve as early indicators of acute clinical mastitis caused by E. coli LPS. His highly cited 2010 study (61 citations) demonstrated how these molecular signals can be used for on-line, non-visual health surveillance, paving the way for precision livestock farming. This research has significant implications for animal welfare, antibiotic reduction, and dairy farm efficiency. Larsen’s work bridges immunology, biochemistry, and agricultural technology, making him a key figure in the transition toward data-driven, automated herd management. His findings continue to influence both commercial sensor development and academic research on inflammatory responses in livestock.
