Major Responsibilities/Research Interests
The Ruminant Nutrition/Metabolism and Digestive Physiology program at AFNS in partnership with Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development and other research organizations aims at improving the sustainability and profitability of the beef industry in Alberta and has the objectives of:
Developing systems that help to produce the quality of beef desired by the market place.
Developing nutritionally based decision-making tools for the beef industry.
The research focus is on:
Understanding of the delivery of nutrients to the small intestine and absorption and metabolic fates of these nutrients.
Understanding of the kinetics and transport of nutrients including gene expression and protein abundance.
Understanding of the process of fatty acid synthesis and deposition in ruminants.
