My name is Alejandro Pittaluga and I just graduated from my PhD in Ruminant Nutrition at The Ohio State University where we assessed the impact of different nutritional managements through the entire production cycle of cattle (from early weaning to harvest) to improve the intramuscular fat content of beef in a cost-effective manner. However, I also designed and conducted research projects aimed to develop: 1) feed additives such as probiotics and enzyme preparations to improve feed efficiency of feedlot cattle and mitigate rumen methanogenesis; and 2) nutritional strategies to decrease the roughage content of feedlot diets without compromising growth performance and feed efficiency.
