Research area:
Research with metabolism and nutrition of dairy calves, aiming to increase the potential of future milk production. Studies are carried out with evaluation of colostrum feeding protocols and passive immunity transfer, evaluation of different feeding management, liquid and solid diets and its implications in the pre-ruminant metabolism and its transition to functional ruminant. In addition, animal behavior evaluation studies are developed in order to reduce the stress of young animals in situations such as weaning.
