Dr. Lindsey Hulbert grew up in the southwest (AZ, NM) then began her career in animal physiology and behavior in Lubbock, TX through an undergraduate research program at Texas Tech University. Her first research projects involved understanding how housing and management conditions affect the behavior and stress responses in swine. Her research evolved into how stress affects the health and immune systems in other species, including laboratory rodents, beef and dairy calves, and poultry. She also worked for the USDA-Agriculture Research Services, Livestock Issues Research Unit in Lubbock, TX. Dr. Hulbert was a post-doctoral at the University of California, Davis before moving to KSU in January of 2013. Dr. Hulbert’s research includes : 1) Validation and refinement of automated technologies so that behavior can be used as reliable and repeatable measures at the individual-animal level, even among intensive animal husbandry systems; 2) the study of sickness and injury during critical development stages and how this influences behaviors related to stress- and immune-resilience. Dr. Hulbert has a passion for animals, science, and training students. In addition, she enjoys spending time with her family and her hobbies include Zumba and Salsa.
