Brian W. Kirkpatrick is a Professor in the Department of Animal and Dairy Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research and teaching focus on the genetics and genomics of livestock, particularly beef and dairy cattle. Dr. Kirkpatrick's work investigates the genetic basis of variation in health and reproduction, specifically exploring host susceptibility to Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis, which causes Johne’s disease, as well as genetics related to ovulation and twinning rates. He is actively involved in various committees, including the Animal Dairy Sciences Climate Diversity Committee and the BARD US-Israel Agricultural Research Development Fund Technical Advisory Committee. His academic contributions include significant patents related to animal breeding and genetics, demonstrating his commitment to advancing knowledge in this field.
