Research summary

Jacob M Maskal's research focuses on the genetics of livestock resilience and productivity, particularly how dairy cattle and pigs respond to heat stress and how automated sensor data (from robotic milking systems, activity monitors, and temperature loggers) can be used to identify and breed for more resilient animals. The work combines quantitative genetics (estimating heritability and genetic correlations) with physiology and data science applied to real farm records.
