He successfully transferred the vitagene concept of stress adaptation from medical sciences into poultry and animal sciences and summarised the concept in a recent monograph “Vitagenes in Avian Biology and Poultry Health” published by Wageningen Academic Publishers in 2020. For the last 20 years, he has been lecturing all over the world, visiting more than 70 countries.
