My research focuses on the use of fiber from different forage species, processing methods, and nitrogen fertilization levels, and how these factors influence specific fiber characteristics and composition. The goal is to understand their effects on digestibility, animal performance, and methane emissions, contributing to more sustainable and efficient ruminant production systems.

I have great experience within animal nutrition and optimization of feed for all kind of animals, however, with primary focus on swine nutrition. Furthermore, I have been working with funding applications, setup of animal trials, and testing of feed for all kind of animal species. I do have great knowledge about quantitative biology and its methods and have a holistic insight into the connection between the structure of the animal body, its functions, its ability to perform, and the general welfare of the animal.

PhD project title: Oxidative status and inflammatory responses in pigs under bacterial challenge and dietary interventions.

My research concerns animal science with focus on immunity, nutrition, and particularly oxidative stress in weaned pigs. My PhD project is part of the PIG-PARADIGM project, with the overall aim of reducing antibiotic use in pig production.
