一、研究方向

　　1、畜禽精准饲喂理论与机电控制技术研究

　　针对畜禽的动物信息感知、数据集成处理及环境监测与控制平台，集成基于畜禽的动态体重预测、环境控制、营养需求动态预测模型等技术，研究满足畜禽精准饲喂的理论与设备装备技术，以期满足畜禽正常生理与生产对精准饲喂的技术需求；从畜禽动物的营养精准喂养方面，研究各自的饲喂设备及其理论，其理论研究内嵌了各种动物的采食量或体重变化与日粮的养分浓度、环境参数的关系模型，同时与环境控制系统结合起来，实现对畜禽动物的体况监测、环境控制与精细化喂养。

　　2、反刍动物营养研究

　　针对奶牛生产中的突出问题，包括由于高精度日粮广泛使用造成的亚急性瘤胃酸中毒、甲烷排放严重、N利用效率低下、围产期能量负平衡等，探讨使用营养调控手段，缓解或解决的方案，并通过体内外结合研究(瘤胃瘘管-瘤胃仿生系统，乳腺-乳腺上皮细胞)的方法，从DNA修饰、转录、翻译、翻译后修饰层面，从器官、组织、细胞、亚细胞角度，揭示其机理和核心调节网络。
