Research interest:
My research integrates ruminant nutrition and meat science to alter the fat composition of animal products by modifying management and nutrition of the animal. The goal of my research program is to enhance anti-carcinogenic and anti-atherogenic compounds in animal products to increase consumer acceptability and augment human health.
