My research work is aimed at improving the efficiency of goats in their nutrient utilization and exploring novel human-inedible feed materials as alternative nutrient sources. It focuses on understanding the chemical composition and nutritional values of different agro-industrial by-products, including hemp extraction residues as an alternative feed for dairy and meat goats. Currently, I'm working on a USD-CRIS-funded project to establish selection parameters for more efficient dairy and meat goats. This summer I will launch a new USDA_NIFA Sponsored Project titled “Evaluating the Nutritional Profile of Industrial Hemp Farm-Byproducts and Extraction Residues as Alternative Feed Resources for Goats. Advances in knowledge of hemp byproducts and chemical composition will have a broader application as feed for ruminant animals and impact human health. My teaching task includes teaching up to six different Animal Science courses, Including Animal Breeding and Genetics, Poultry Science, Livestock Production and Marketing, and Dairy Sciences.
