Chanhee Lee

Chanhee Lee is an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at The Ohio State University, affiliated with the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences (CFAES). He leads research focused on mitigating environmental impacts of livestock production, optimizing nutrient utilization, and reducing enteric methane emissions. His work integrates nutritional strategies with advanced analytical techniques to improve dairy and beef cattle systems.

Research interests include rumen microbiology, feed efficiency, greenhouse gas mitigation, and manure management. Lee’s studies often involve collaborations on enzyme-enhanced feeds, fatty acid metabolism, and isotope-based nutrient tracking. His lab develops tools for measuring urinary and fecal outputs, improving abomasal infusion techniques, and evaluating dietary additives.

Notable contributions include investigating α-amylase-expressed corn silage effects, rumen-protected amino acids, and branched-chain volatile fatty acids. His findings inform sustainable livestock practices and precision nutrition strategies. Lee advises graduate student KiYeon Park and has published extensively on topics like methane reduction, nutrient digestibility, and environmental impact assessment. His research bridges animal physiology with agricultural sustainability, addressing global challenges in food production and climate change.
