My research interests pertain to the interaction between microorganisms and hosts (Dairy cows and poultry). In dairy research, we focus on reactions of the bovine immune system during intra-mammary infection, pathogenesis of mastitis, genetic determination of milk fatty acids and milk protein allergy. In poultry research, we work on prebiotics, probiotics and gut microbiome.
