Samantha R. Locke

Samantha R. Locke's research focuses on dairy cattle health and disease surveillance, particularly around Salmonella Dublin (a bacterial pathogen affecting cattle) and the management of surplus dairy calves (calves not needed for milk production, often sold or moved between farms). Her work combines laboratory diagnostic methods, like PCR-based testing, with interviews and surveys of dairy producers to understand disease spread and animal management practices along the calf supply chain.

Publication output has grown over the last decade, rising from no publications before 2020 to a peak of 7 in 2025, indicating an increasingly active research program.
