Research Area
My research focuses on dairy and ruminant nutrition, rumen microbiology, and methane mitigation strategies. I investigate rumen microbial ecology, feed additives, fermentation processes, and gastrointestinal microbiome dynamics to improve animal performance, sustainability, and enteric methane reduction. My work integrates in vitro and in vivo nutrition research, anaerobic microbiology, culturomics, and 16S rRNA sequencing.
