Yun Jiang is an Assistant Professor of Dairy Nutrition in the Department of Animal & Dairy Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She earned both her M.S. and Ph.D. in Animal Science, with a specialization in ruminant nutrition, from the University of Florida. Dr. Jiang’s research program focuses on developing nutritional strategies to optimize ruminal fermentation and feed efficiency, reduce environmental impacts such as methane emission, and improve feed quality and safety in the dairy industry. She also has a strong interest in the use of probiotics and postbiotics in dairy nutrition.
