Research title: Growth curves for cattle, and the effect of ammonia-treatment of cereal grains on bovine production performance and faecal proteome
Research Summary
I am a qualified vet in China since 2014 and I have been working in molecular biology laboratories since 2015. My research interests are mainly cattle immunology, dairy cow perinatal diseases. In particular, I am very interested in applying metabolomics and proteomics techniques to this field.
