Dr. Aeriel Belk is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Auburn University's College of Agriculture, specializing in meat science, food safety, and animal nutrition. Her research examines microbiological safety in meat processing, innovative packaging technologies, and sustainable livestock management practices. She investigates microbial ecology in production environments and develops strategies to enhance product quality and safety.
Research interests focus on meat preservation technologies, ruminant microbiome dynamics, and value-added product development. Studies explore vacuum packaging efficacy, alternative feed impacts on meat quality, and decomposition microbiology. Recent work utilizes advanced sensor technologies for real-time quality assessment and emphasizes sustainable practices in meat production systems.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on practical applications for industry, with methodological rigor in experimental design and statistical analysis. Research contributes to reducing food waste through improved preservation techniques and addresses climate concerns via methane mitigation strategies in ruminant production.
