Biography

I am a dairy nutrition scientist with experience in the international feed industry, working to connect science and practice.

My interests are:

• Mammary physiology: rate of synthesis of milk protein, fat and lactose
• Intemediary metabolism: the pathways of nutrients after absorption
• Rumen physiology: digesting plant cell walls, building protein
• Methane and manure: the other products of the system
• Understanding feedstuffs: where the nutrients are
• Calf development and growth: growing better cows
