Animal Breeding & Nutrition
The quality of animal feed plays a key role on animal health and well-being; this has specific effects also on human health. This research activity deals with cultivation/harvesting/storage of forages, their nutritional and health-promoting traits, and the effect of animal diet on the quality of deriving products. Integrated technologies are used to define parameters that affect production yield, animal welfare, product quality and breeding environmental impact.
