Her experience includes managing a dairy operation in Northern Mexico, where she gained firsthand insight into environmental stressors and their impact on dairy systems. This practical foundation has informed her approach to implementing research-driven strategies that enhance dairy cattle productivity. In recent years, her research has focused on the regulation of milk production and mammary gland physiology, particularly how environmental stress and management factors influence milk synthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scholarly Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-button alignnone\"><a class=\"wp-block-advgb-button_link advgbbtn-e85af2fc-1b76-47e9-97d2-2656f4153a37\" href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=pgdaIz8AAAAJ&amp;hl=es&amp;oi=ao\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span><strong>Google Scholar<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<style class=\"advgb-styles-renderer\">.advgbbtn-e85af2fc-1b76-47e9-97d2-2656f4153a37{font-size:18px;color:#4f2d7f !important;background-color:#ffffff !important;margin:0px 0px 0px 0px !important;padding:10px 30px 10px 30px;border-width:4px !important;border-color:#4f2d7f !important;border-style:solid !important;border-radius:25px !important;}.advgbbtn-e85af2fc-1b76-47e9-97d2-2656f4153a37:hover{box-shadow:1px 1px 12px 0px #ccc;opacity:1;transition:all 0.2s ease;}.advgbbtn-e85af2fc-1b76-47e9-97d2-2656f4153a37 > i {font-size:30px;color:inherit;float:left;margin-right:7px;}<\/style>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gabriela Perez-Hernandez, Ph.D. Assistant Professor &amp; Director of Southwest Regional Dairy Center Email: gperezhernandez@tarleton.edu Phone: (254)-968-7085 Office: Dairy 121 Research Interests Education Undergraduate Education B.S. in Agronomy &amp; Animal Sciences, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":845,"featured_media":580,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"template-fullwidth.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1311","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"coauthors":[],"author_meta":{"author_link":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/author\/swdmcelyea\/","display_name":"swdmcelyea"},"relative_dates":{"created":"Posted 6 months ago","modified":"Updated 6 months ago"},"absolute_dates":{"created":"Posted on October 2, 2025","modified":"Updated on October 2, 2025"},"absolute_dates_time":{"created":"Posted on October 2, 2025 6:16 pm","modified":"Updated on October 2, 2025 6:16 pm"},"featured_img_caption":"","featured_img":false,"series_order":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/845"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1311"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1311\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1360,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1311\/revisions\/1360"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tarleton.edu\/animal-science\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
