B.D. Enger

B.D. Enger studies the biology of the dairy cow mammary gland, with a focus on udder infections (mastitis), mammary gland development, and how these processes affect milk yield and composition. Much of the work involves experimentally challenging cows or heifers with bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus) or hormones (estradiol and progesterone) to understand infection response, tissue growth, and blood vessel and collagen organization in the gland. This research is aimed at improving dairy cattle health and milk production.

Publication output has been fairly steady over the last decade, generally ranging from 1 to 5 papers per year without a clear long-term increase or decline.
