Research Interests
My primary research focus is in ruminant nutrition, specifically in commercial dairy cattle. I am currently researching the impact of replacing canola meal with solvent extracted distillers grain with solubles as a protein source on milk yield and components in a commercial dairy herd. Outside of evaluating the production impact of this replacement, I am also building an economic partial budget and sensitivity analysis model to monitor profitability. After receiving my Masters of Science, here at the University of California, Davis, I will be working in the field as a Ruminant Nutrition Consultant. My goal is to use my past experiences and education to facilitate evidence-based decision making on farm to promote healthier and more profitable dairy operations.
