Dr. José A. Laporte-Uribe is a veterinarian and animal scientist specializing in precision livestock technologies, rumen physiology, and biological control systems for dairy production.

His work integrates ruminant physiology, fermentation biochemistry, data science, farm management, and sensor development to create next-generation tools for livestock optimization.

He developed a novel scientific framework identifying dissolved carbon dioxide (dCO₂) as a central regulator of ruminal fermentation, animal health, and methane dynamics.

Based on this discovery, he is developing a patented ATR-IR IoT sensing platform capable of continuously monitoring ruminal biology in vivo to:

  • Prevent metabolic and periparturient diseases,

  • Improve feed efficiency and fermentation stability, and

  • Reduce methane emissions through precision fermentation management.
