Nutrigenetics & Feed Efficiency
We study how dietary strategies, genetic background, and compensatory growth mechanisms influence nutrient utilization, growth performance, and feed efficiency in pigs and poultry.
We connect controlled animal trials with genomic, transcriptomic, microbiome, and metabolomic profiling to understand feed efficiency, gut health, and sustainable livestock production.
Research Areas
Our research connects animal nutrition, molecular profiling, and practical livestock biotechnology across four interconnected programs.
We study how dietary strategies, genetic background, and compensatory growth mechanisms influence nutrient utilization, growth performance, and feed efficiency in pigs and poultry.
We profile microbial communities and metabolic signatures to understand how feed additives, probiotics, phytogenic supplements, and diet composition affect gut function and animal health.
RNA-seq, qRT-PCR, and molecular assays help us connect nutritional interventions to gene expression, tissue responses, and biological mechanisms.
We build omics-informed livestock strategies for eco-friendly pig farming, reduced environmental impact, and resilient production systems.
