Research:
Prof Ramanzin started his research in animal production acquiring a solid background in animal digestion, nutrition and metabolism. He approached these topics using innovative analytical techniques, such as mass spectrometry and isotope ratios/dilution, and statistical approaches to model rumen metabolism and nutrient retention. He was then able to apply this expertise to study and model the possibilities of reducing nutrients/pollutants release by intensive production systems. More recently, his interest on the farming-environment interactions has focused on extensive farming, with the aims of understanding the role of modern and traditional farming systems on the maintenance of Alpine landscapes and biodiversity, and in general on the delivery of Ecosystem Services. During the last 20 years, he has been also involved in wildlife applied ecology and management, with particular focus on Alpine ungulates and their movement ecology.
