Research

My research primarily revolves around the nutrition and nutritional physiology of gestating and lactating sows, and suckling piglets, with a strong emphasis on the period during transition, typically with more applied research. The main objective is to optimize nutrient utilization by gestating and lactating sow for better colostrum and milk production, ultimately improving the survival and growth of the suckling piglets. I have collaborated with different industries in my project work.
