Research summary

KaLynn Harlow's research focuses on livestock reproduction and gut health, spanning two connected areas: the hormonal control of puberty and reproductive development in pigs and sheep (including brain signaling molecules like kisspeptin and neurokinin B that regulate reproductive hormones), and the piglet gut microbiome, especially how weaning, diet, and probiotic/yeast supplements affect gut bacteria and fungi and animal growth. This work aims to help improve breeding efficiency and animal health in swine and sheep production systems. The group appears to work closely with animal science departments and applies both molecular biology and microbiome-sequencing approaches.

Publication output has been relatively steady but modest over the past decade, with year-to-year fluctuation (peaks around 2021 and 2024) rather than a clear upward or downward trend.
