PhD Candidate
University of Kentucky
My name is Emily Rice, I am a PhD candidate at the University of Kentucky working with Dr. Joao H.C. Costa. My research involves the use of precision technologies with dairy cattle with a focus on real-time localization systems for tracking the locations, movement patterns, and area usage of freestall-housed dairy cows. Additionally, I am using the location and behavioral data collected by precision technologies to investigate the relationship between temperature-humidity index and heat stress-related behaviors and measures in dairy cows and calves.
