Students

Research Interest: Quantitative genetics and precision livestock farming Major Professor: Hao Cheng

My research focuses on improving microbial protein production in rumen by understanding energy utilization by rumen microbes. Major Professor: Timothy Hackmann

Research Interest: Viral diseases of poultry specifically avian reovirus (ARV) and infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). I am interested in their molecular diagnosis and characterization studies that may help in understanding the epidemiology of these viruses contributing to their control and prevention strategies.
