Rate My Professor Dr. Holly Neibergs

Dr. Neibergs has authored or co-authored nearly 190 peer-reviewed publications, advancing understanding of genetic diversity, molecular markers, and gene expression in livestock. Key recent contributions include 'Identifying the Genetic Basis of Fetal Loss in Cows and Heifers Through a Genome-Wide Association Analysis' (2026), 'Genomic regions associated with bovine respiratory disease in Pacific Northwest Holstein cattle' (2025), 'Genomic Regions Associated with Respiratory Disease in Holstein Calves in the Southern United States' (2025), 'Loci associated with spontaneous abortion in primiparous Holstein cattle' (2025), 'Genomic regions associated with Holstein heifer times bred to artificial insemination and embryo transfer services' (2024), and 'Genomic Regions Associated with Spontaneous Abortion in Holstein Heifers' (2024). She mentors graduate students exploring traits like cryptorchidism in Wagyu cattle and respiratory genomics. As a member of the Ruminant Telomere-to-Telomere (RT2T) Consortium, she contributes to complete ruminant genome assemblies. Dr. Neibergs also serves on Washington State University's Intellectual Property Committee and has held the LIFT Faculty Fellowship, underscoring her leadership in agricultural research and innovation.
