Animal Nutrition and Environment

• Use of local products for animal feeding
• Studying the impact of heat stress on metabolism in monogastrics
• Influence of feed on immune status in ruminants
• Use of additives to mitigate the impact of livestock excrement
• Proposals for differential management at an early age to promote resilience and robustness in ruminants.

They are articulated through competencies based on the study of:

• Use of Next Generation Sequencing to study the digestive microbiota
• Use of gene expression to study immunity
• Handling of isotopic markers to study metabolism
• Analysis of greenhouse gases

• Recognized international experience in the impact of livestock farming on the production of pollutant gases.
• Participation in European projects (Feed-a-gene) and collaborations with groups of international prestige (INRAe).
