Wilbert Pellikaan

Wilbert Pellikaan is an Assistant Professor at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Animal Nutrition. His work focuses on rumen fermentation, methane mitigation in livestock, and sustainable feed solutions for dairy cattle and poultry. He collaborates extensively with institutions like Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and contributes to projects addressing climate-friendly agricultural practices.

• Research Interests: Rumen microbiology, plant-based feed additives, methane reduction, and nutritional impacts on dairy and broiler systems.
• Key Collaborations: Co-promotor in PhD projects on topics like pre-caecal protocols, sustainable dairy production, and alternative protein sources.
• Recent Trends: His 2025 publications emphasize in vitro models for assessing feed impacts, with studies on black soldier fly larvae meal, tannin supplementation, and tropical grasses. These works align with global efforts to reduce livestock-related greenhouse gas emissions.
• Network: Active in conferences (e.g., European Equine Health & Nutrition Congress) and datasets related to equine and ruminant microbiomes.
