His research explores methane emissions, feed efficiency, and ruminal fermentation in beef and dairy cattle across diverse diets. Key studies analyze silage types (maize, wheat, pea), concentrate composition, and trace mineral supplementation. Patents highlight applications of sandalwood extracts to reduce methane production in ruminants.

Scientific contributions include peer-reviewed articles in journals like Journal of Animal Science, PLoS ONE, and Animal. Collaborations with institutions across Ireland, the UK, and international partners emphasize practical solutions for sustainable livestock systems.
