Pablo Dominguez Castaño

Experience in performing statistical analyses, estimating genetic parameters, and conducting genomic predictions using pedigree and genomic information from large dairy and beef cattle datasets.

Currently, Pablo is part of a project conducting quantitative genetic analyses using phenotypic, pedigree, genomic, and weather data to understand the impact of heat stress on milk yield losses in Holstein, Jersey, and Swedish Red dairy cattle in Sweden.
