Overview

Frédéric Lévy is affiliated with François Rabelais University in France, focusing research in the fields of Veterinary science, Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology, and Agricultural and Biological Sciences. Their work extends into specialized subfields including Genetics, Small Animals, Animal Science and Zoology, Equine studies, and Agronomy and Crop Science.

The scientist's recent research explores key themes such as Animal Behavior and Welfare Studies, Effects of Environmental Stressors on Livestock, Genetic and Phenotypic Traits in Livestock, Veterinary Equine Medical Research, Human-Animal Interaction Studies, and Reproductive Physiology in Livestock.

Lévy has contributed to multiple publications across recognized venues, with a notable presence in the journal animal and Applied Animal Behaviour Science. Examples of recent papers include:

  • Weaned horses, especially females, still prefer their dam after five months of separation (2022), published in animal
  • Does lambing season affect mother-young relationships and lamb vigor in D'man sheep reared in oases? (2020), published in animal
  • Out-of-season breeding and ewe-lamb bond from birth to weaning in Corriedale sheep (2021), published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science

The scientist collaborates frequently with other researchers, including Léa Lansade, Céline Parias, Fabrice Reigner, Aleksandra Górecka-Bruzda, and A. Dhaoui.
