Fabio Fabio Napolitano

After achieving a Ph.D. in Animal Science, in 1995 was appointed as Researcher in Animal Science and in 2006 associate Professor at the School of Agriculture, Food, Forestry and Environment(University of Basilicata, Italy).
He has been involved in several projects concerning animal behavior (regional and national level) and animal welfare (national and international level) as a local project leader and coordinated a national project on product quality and animal welfare in 2005.
He is the author of 107 indexed scientific articles with 1596 citations and an H-index of 24 (Scopus, 5 May 2018).
His research activity is particularly centered on the study of behavior and welfare of farm animals, including buffaloes; the effect of information about animal welfare on consumer perception of product quality and willingness to pay is also a focus of his studies.
His teaching activity at the master level includes two courses: Sustainable Animal Production and Organic Production and Animal Welfare. At the Ph.D. level, he is teaching a course entitled How to Write a Scientific Article and Present Experimental Data.
He has been included in the list of experts and, for the period 2009-2011, a nominated member of the scientific committee of external reviewers by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), while in 2013 he was nominated member of the working group on sheep welfare.
