Research interests:
Forage protein use and digestive physiology in ruminant animals, protein and true mineral metabolism, nutrition and reproductive interactions, and gastrointestinal growth and development.
Evaluating the effectiveness of viruses coproducts to provide nutrient supply in ruminants, and investigating various aspects of grazing livestock nutrition are also focus areas.
