Overview

Jeffrey S. Stevenson is affiliated with Kansas State University in the United States and has contributed extensively to the fields of agricultural and biological sciences as well as biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Their research mainly focuses on reproductive physiology in livestock, genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, effects of environmental stressors on livestock, ruminant nutrition and digestive physiology, reproductive biology and fertility, livestock management and performance improvement, and agriculture sustainability and environmental impact.

Their recent publications reflect a focus on dairy cow health and productivity, reproductive outcomes, and metabolic influences. Notable papers include:

  • Review: Perspective on high-performing dairy cows and herds (2021, animal)
  • Transition dairy cow health is associated with first postpartum ovulation risk, metabolic status, milk production, rumination, and physical activity (2020, Journal of Dairy Science)
  • Changes in body condition score from calving to first insemination and milk yield, pregnancy per AI, and pregnancy loss in lactating dairy cows: A meta-analysis (2022, Theriogenology)

Some coauthors frequently collaborating with Jeffrey S. Stevenson include Branko Atanasov, S. Banuelos, J.A. Sauls-Hiesterman, Toni Dovenski, and Irena Celeska.

Their work has been published in several key venues, most notably:

  • Theriogenology
  • Journal of Dairy Science
  • Animal Reproduction Science
  • animal
  • Radiology Case Reports

The scholar's research spans multiple subfields such as agronomy and crop science, genetics, animal science and zoology, public health, environmental and occupational health, and small animals. The integration of these areas informs a multidisciplinary approach to livestock health, reproduction, and management.

Jeffrey S. Stevenson has received recognition from professional organizations, including the ASAS Fellow: Research Category from the American Society of Animal Science and the Animal Physiology and Endocrinology Award from the same society, both awarded in 2012.
