Overview

Peter J. Cripps is affiliated with the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom and conducts research across multiple disciplines within agricultural and biological sciences. Their work addresses key topics related to milk quality and mastitis in dairy cows, probiotics and fermented foods, microbial infections and disease research, antimicrobial resistance in Staphylococcus, animal disease management and epidemiology, genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, and antibiotic resistance in bacteria.

Their recent publications demonstrate extensive investigation into somatic cell counts, bacterial contamination, and antibiotic resistance in bulk-tank milk from sheep and goat herds. Notable papers include:

  • Extensive Countrywide Field Investigation of Somatic Cell Counts and Total Bacterial Counts in Bulk-Tank Raw Milk in Sheep Flocks in Greece (2021, Foods)
