Diana Reyes Gomez is a Researcher in the Department of Animal Science at Cornell University, working under Dr. Joseph McFadden's lab. Her research focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions from dairy cattle through innovative strategies involving algae-based products, methane mitigation, and improving nutrient utilization and milk quality. She holds a Doctorate in Agricultural Sciences from the University of New Hampshire and a Master of Science in Animal Sciences from the University of Maine.
Her work spans environmental sustainability and animal nutrition, with a strong emphasis on forage preservation, antimicrobial properties of agricultural byproducts, and the application of seaweed supplements in dairy systems. Key research themes include evaluating technical lignins as preservatives, studying the impact of dietary additives on rumen metabolism, and assessing the climate impact of dairy manure management.
Dr. Gomez has contributed to over 20 peer-reviewed articles since 2016, with recent work highlighting the potential of red seaweed (Chondrus crispus) to reduce enteric methane emissions and improve dairy cow productivity. Her studies often integrate meta-analyses of preservation technologies, in vitro screening of novel additives, and on-farm trials in organic dairy systems.
She is actively involved in outreach to dairy producers, focusing on practical applications of her research to enhance sustainability and profitability. Her lab's findings have been featured in field notes and industry publications, emphasizing translational science for real-world impact.
