Research Area

In collaboration with Italian and foreign researcher, her research activity mainly dealt with rabbit science. Initially, main research topics were harmonization of rabbit feed evaluation; energy and protein metabolism, nutritive requirements and relationships with health status in growing rabbits and reproducing does. During the last 10 years, researches has been especially devoted to the development of alternative housing systems for growing rabbits and reproducing does, in view of animal welfare and behavior, growth performance and product quality.
Among most recent research topics, strategies for improving performance, meat quality, health and welfare of poultry. Other research topics included feeding, management and rearing factors affecting meat quality (poultry, veal, rabbits, fish); use of NIRS analysis to characterize feeds for animals and meat; effect of rearing system on welfare, freshness, nutritional quality and safety (PCBs and heavy metals) of sea bass; effect of rearing systems on production, egg quality and welfare of laying hens.
