Abstract Dr. White’s research focuses on the animal/environment interface with broad goal of leveraging animal nutrition to enhance sustainability food production systems. This work at three levels: 1) basic evaluating factors regulating rumen fermentation; 2) applied testing strategies feed efficiency; and 3) systems-level wider socioeconomic impacts livestock management.

Nutrition deals with ingestion of foods, digestion, absorption, transport of nutrients, intermediary metabolism, underlying anabolism and catabolism, and excretion of unabsorbed nutrients and metabolites. In addition, nutrition interacts with gene expressions, which are involved in the regulation of animal performances. Our laboratory is concerned with the improvement of animal productions, suc...
