Main research topics
1. Dairy cattle
The research activity on dairy cow farming concerns different aspects, such as feeding
efficiency, productive performance, milk quality, and animal health. With regard to nutrition,
my research focuses on the use of additives and of control techniques to check Total Mixed
Ration to improve rumen health, feed efficiency and animal performance.
2. Precision livestock farming
My research also focuses on precision livestock farming and precision feeding on both dairy
cow and beef cattle, through the application of new technologies and the study of animal
behavior. With regard to precision feeding, the main focus is on the study of silage quality.
3. Wildlife-domestic animals’ interface
My research activity focuses on monitoring and management of wild-domestic animals’ interface, with a focus on health management. I was involved inInterreg projects dealing with monitoring of wild carnivors and wild ungulates while I was working at Udine University (see the project-book chaptersin the pubblications). Recently I have carried out some studies on the interaction between grazing cattle at pasture and alpine marmot foraging ecologyand health status (To be published).
4. Other
I had collaborations in studies on dog feeding and behavior (See pubblications)
