The non-ruminant nutrition and metabolism lab, led by Dr. Deborah Adewole, focuses on advancing nutrition and metabolism in poultry and swine. Our research enhances efficiency, sustainability, and profitability in animal production.
We develop evidence-based nutritional strategies to enhance gut health and metabolic efficiency in poultry and swine raised without antibiotics. Our research integrates classical nutrition with emerging biological tools.
The aim is to identify bioactive compounds, dietary interventions, and management approaches to support animal health, resilience, and performance in diverse production conditions.
Our lab is committed to solutions that are scientifically rigorous and industry-relevant. We focus on sustainability and profitability in modern animal production systems. Our goal is to conduct fundamental and applied research that supports the transition toward more sustainable and responsible nonruminant production systems, contributing to globally applicable solutions.
