Research areas
Feeding strategies to increase the nutritional value of food
  • Improvement of fatty acid profile of milk and milk products (i.e. omega 3 fatty acids, isomers of conjugated linoleic acid, CLA)
  • Improvement of content of antioxidant substances (i.e. Selenium, vitamin E...) in milk
​Feeding strategies to reduce environmental pollution
  • Use of low protein diets to reduce N excretion in cattle, pigs, horses
  • Feeding strategies to reduce methane emissions in ruminants
Feeding strategies to improve animal welfare
  • Management of dry and peri-partum periods to reduce the metabolic disorders in dairy cows
​Sustainability of the dairy food chain
  • Comparison between organic and conventional systems
  • Valorization of dairy products obtained in mountain areas by local breeds
  • Utilization of non-traditional forages (i.e. sorghum, hemp) in the animal nutrition
​Development of new procedures to evaluate feed and food
  • In vitro techniques to estimate feed digestability and energy value and methane emission during the ruminal fermentation
