Essam M Abdelfattah

PeerJ Editor, Author & Reviewer

Summary

I have a bachelor’s degree in veterinary medicine as well as PhD and master’s degree in animal Behavior and Management. In addition to, two postdoctoral scholar training in the area of Animal Behavior and Welfare at UC Davis. I am currently pursuing board certification from the American College of Animal Welfare (ACAW). I completed my PhD in USDA-ARS Livestock Behavior Research Unit at Purdue University in 2014, where I conducted experimental research to investigate the effect of group housing on the behavior, health, and welfare of dairy and veal calves. My research specialty focus on applied animal behavior, welfare, and stress physiology. My research utilized behavioral and physiological measures to investigate the effects of management practices and housing design, environmental conditions, and nutrition on the health, production, and welfare of animals. To master additional knowledge in epidemiology and biostatistics and advance animal welfare through sound study design and statistical analyses, I completed my second postdoctoral position at the Dairy Epidemiology Laboratory at VMTRC in Tulare, CA.
