View Profile

PhD student in animal physiology. My research focuses on water requirements, watering strategies, and the potential use of alternative water sources for cattle.

Research

My PhD research focuses on reducing freshwater use in cattle production and exploring sustainable water management strategies during periods of water scarcity.

The project investigates cattle's water requirements, alternative drinking water sources, and watering strategies to improve resilience to future water shortages.
