Haseeb Ahmed
I am a postdoctoral researcher in economics of animal health and welfare at Department of Clinical Sciences, SLU. My areas of focus are Applied Econometrics and Agricultural and Development Economics.
Presentation
My research interests lie at the intersection of applied econometrics and economics of animal health. I use survey and quantitative methods to examine the relationships between the wellbeing of farmers, animals and societies. My on-going work focuses on the linkages between investment in disease management, animal health and household wellbeing in smallholder farmers of east Africa. I am also examining the impact of animal welfare improvements in Swedish beef and dairy cattle on farmer and societal wellbeing; a topic at the forefront of animal welfare science and policy.
Forskning
On going projects include:
1) Good Animal Welfare in Beef Cattle: Gains for Farmer and Society
2) Assessing the Impact of Memory Constraints on Livestock Disease Management Decisions
3) Extreme Weather - Health and Productivity of Dairy Cows
