About the Naumann Lab
My program focuses on understanding the critical physiological components of warm and cool-season forages that lead to improved forage-livestock production systems. Developing and maintaining resilient forage-livestock systems that are productive and environmentally sustainable is fraught with challenges. The solutions to these challenges involve sustainable livestock intensification that provide a framework for yielding more animal products through more targeted exploitation of our forage resources while reducing adverse impacts to the environment. I research solutions to two of those challenges: 1) forage shortage due to the seasonal distribution of the feed resource and 2) mitigating animal production inefficiency using forage phytochemicals.
