Caitlin Cadaret Research Focus

Dr. Cadaret is a stress physiologist focused on how the environment we manage our gestating animals in, impacts their progeny and subsequent generations. Her lab collaborates across disciplines to better understand how common stressors that livestock experience in extensive and intensive management systems impact animal welfare, performance, and reproductive competency. This research is motivated by industry and aims to address common challenges by understanding mechanisms that precede between animal variation, in order to develop better selection and management strategies that improve animal productivity and producer profitability.
