I’m Memoona Nasir, a doctoral researcher in Animal Production at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, Spain. My research focuses on the use of natural feed additives — particularly essential oils — to modulate rumen fermentation and reduce enteric methane emissions in ruminants. By targeting the rumen microbiome through bioactive plant compounds, I aim to develop sustainable nutritional strategies that enhance animal productivity while minimizing environmental impact. I hold an M.Phil. in Animal Science, during which I studied the effects of dietary neutral detergent fiber (NDF), yeast supplementation, and postmortem aging on goat meat quality. This experience gave me a strong foundation in both ruminant nutrition and meat science. My long-term goal is to contribute to climate-smart livestock production systems that are both efficient and environmentally responsible. I’m passionate about applying research to real-world challenges, and I’m actively seeking opportunities to collaborate with institutions, research teams, or organizations committed to sustainable animal agriculture.
