Researchers in the ruminant nutrition program pursue two key objectives: performing studies that enhance knowledge of core nutritional principles while offering practical applications for managing ruminant livestock diets. Their investigations span from theoretical to highly practical approaches. Program participants gain comprehensive training in rumen and post-rumen digestive processes, metabolic functions, and essential research methodologies for studying ruminant nutrition. Key research focuses within this group encompass dairy cattle feeding, beef cattle feedlot diets, pasture-based livestock nutrition, greenhouse gas monitoring, and stocker cattle feeding practices.
Students often complement their studies with coursework in biochemistry, grain science, microbiology, physiology, and statistical analysis.
