Zartman’s areas of interest include biotelemetry to improve animal performance through increased physiological data for improved decision-making or through modification of cellular processes. He advocates for intensive grazing and seasonal dairying research and also works in genetics, cell culture, and reproductive physiology. He also serves as an advisor to the Saddle and Sirloin Club.
