Dr. Frank M. Mitloehner, Professor, Department of Animal Sciences, University of California, Davis USA

Frank M. Mitloehner is a professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at the University of California, Davis USA. He holds a Master’s Degree in Agricultural Engineering and Animal Science from the University of Leipzig and a PhD in Animal Sciences from Texas Tech University. His previous research focused on air quality (dust emissions and microbial sampling in cattle and breeding pigs), environmental physiology (heat stress in cattle and pigs) and ethology. Currently, his research activity covers two main areas: Air quality research related to animal production, in particular quantification of ammonia, dust and odor emissions in dairies, cattle and poultry farms, and research on the physiology of the environment, focusing on the impact of air emissions on health and well-being animals.
