My research and academic interests are firmly rooted in ruminant nutrition and sustainable livestock production, with a particular emphasis on improving feed efficiency, animal performance, and product quality while mitigating environmental impacts. I am deeply engaged in exploring the potential of agro-industrial by-products and alternative feed resources—such as Berberis vulgaris leaf and poultry litter—to partially replace conventional forages like alfalfa hay. My work investigates how these dietary interventions affect nutrient intake, rumen fermentation, growth performance, carcass traits, meat quality, and antioxidant status in fattening lambs. Furthermore, I am actively involved in developing strategies to reduce methane emissions from ruminants, aiming to address global warming concerns within animal husbandry systems. A key component of my academic approach involves identifying effective dietary and ruminal fermentation parameters that can predict and optimize live weight gain, with the goal of translating these findings into practical, validated feeding models for the livestock industry.
