Research title: Biomarkers for the early identification of excessive soluble carbohydrate in the diets of ruminants
Research Summary
I am a vet in China and I also have 6 years of work experience in molecular biology laboratories. My research interests are mainly cattle immunology and food science. In particular, I am very interested in applying metabolomics and proteomics techniques to this field.
Current research
- Growth curve models using high-density bodyweight data for accurate parameter estimation in cattle.
- Effects of ammonia-treated cereal grains on growth performance, absorption of orally administered calcium boluses and faecal proteome of beef cattle.
Grants
-
A four-year PhD tuition waiver scholarship provided by College of Medical, Veterinary & Life sciences of University of Glasgow.
- A two and half year PhD scholarship provided by Chinese Scholarship Council.
Conference
- Oral presentation at 71st Annual Meeting of the European Federation of Animal Science (EAAP), 2020: ' Faecal proteomes of cattle fed on barley treated with propionate or ammonia.'
