Pedro H F Freitas studies the genetics and physiology of livestock, with a focus on how animals such as pigs and cattle respond to heat stress, and on genetic traits related to reproduction, feed efficiency, and milk composition. This work combines animal breeding, genomics, and physiology to help improve animal welfare and production traits under environmental challenges like heat. Prospective students would likely engage with genome-wide association studies, longitudinal data analysis, and applied animal science research.
