Expanding calves’ lifetime productivity
Our team is uniquely motivated to create impact in the production system by practicing science to the highest standards. They bring expertise in young animal development and nutrition, nutrient homeostasis, gut health, and nutrient efficiency with a focus on energy and micronutrients.
Customers’ needs for healthy dairy and beef calves inspire the team’s work to study the following:
- Expand the animals’ lifetime productivity with improved rearing techniques and feed efficiencies
- Increase cattle’s productivity and resilience. This is aimed at helping farmers by reducing direct costs and indirect replacement costs but is most essential for the role played in improving animal welfare and justifying their use for food production
- Develop greater efficiencies to lower the costs of ruminant farming and improve the sustainability of ruminant food production
