Academic Interest
My primary research interest is how we can feed the immune system in livestock to promote immune development in neonates or enhance immunity in older animals for generational impacts. Through this research, I aim to help dairy calf and dry cow managers maintain healthy herds. Additionally, I have an interest in mentoring the next generation of young scientists on the farm and in the laboratory while guest lecturing on animal health-related topics.
