• Biography

  My transdisciplinary ruminant livestock nutrition program is focused on: (1) designing innovative and non-human edible feed ingredients to reduce production costs and enhance animal growth, health, and end product quality; (2) exploiting beneficial attributes of plant secondary compounds and physical and nutritional feed characteristics of various feed ingredients (e.g., ground woody plants, cottonseed hulls, and dried distillers grains) to enhance animal growth efficiency, health, and end product quality (e.g., increase milk fat and protein); and (3) enhancing rangeland health, productivity, and water availability by providing economic incentives to remove encroaching woody plants by converting them into livestock feeds.
