👩‍🔬 Research Focus:

Menno Holzhauer’s research primarily revolves around the dynamics of Mycoplasma bovis during acute clinical outbreaks in Dutch dairy herds. His work, published in the Veterinary Journal (2022), sheds light on the intricacies of managing and understanding this infectious agent in the context of dairy farming.

Additionally, he explores the economic impact of sub-optimal mobility in dairy production, simulating the mechanics behind it. Published in Preventive Veterinary Medicine (2022), this research, co-authored with Edwardes et al., delves into the complexities of mobility issues and associated economic losses.

Furthermore, Holzhauer proposes a structural approach to enhance cow-claw health on Dutch dairy farms in an article published in the Journal of Dairy Research (2021).

His contributions extend to diagnostic methodologies, as seen in the evaluation of ELISA tests for the herd-level diagnosis of bovine digital dermatitis, published in the Journal of Dairy Science (2021).

Through diverse studies, Menno Holzhauer’s research spectrum encompasses infectious diseases, mobility challenges, and proactive approaches to enhance the overall health and well-being of dairy cattle.
