The Nutrition Research Group is internationally renowned and widely diversified with an emphasis on current nutritional challenges facing livestock production. By furthering our understanding of nutrition, the group aims to improve the health, welfare, and efficiency of livestock species, while utilizing new feedstuffs and minimizing environmental impacts of animal agriculture. Extensive use of the various animal and laboratory resources of the Department of Animal Sciences is made to address these questions. Funding for research, postdoctoral and predoctoral scientists is available from State and Federal agencies, animal industry associations, and commercial partners.
