Jessica A. Pempek's research focuses on the welfare, management, and health of farm animals, particularly dairy and veal calves, dairy cattle, and pigs. Her work examines practical issues such as colostrum management, calf transportation, disease prevention, and housing or enrichment strategies, often combining farm-level data with input from farmers and veterinarians. This research aims to improve animal care practices and inform welfare-related decisions in livestock production systems.
Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, increasing from about 2-4 papers per year in 2017-2020 to roughly 9-10 per year in 2023-2025.
