I conduct research using in vitro and in vivo models in the fields of animal nutrition, microbiome and animal health. The target species of my research are mainly dairy cows and how we can feed them with low feed-food competition (e.g. including by-products or applying anaerobic fungal enzymes during ensiling) as well as understanding the consequences of mycotoxins on animal health and performance. Especially for the latter aspect, I want to extent my research to the ‘One health’ level. Besides, I also pursue scientific questions on the sustainable nutrition of pigs and poultry, particularly with regard to alternative protein sources, such as ensiled insect larvae. It is important to me to investigate my research subjects as comprehensive as possible and to broaden my understanding, which is the reason to apply for the membership of this TRA. I am open for collaboration and happy to bring in my animal nutrition expertise.
