معرفی
Gabriel Ribeiro is an Assistant Professor and Saskatchewan Beef Industry Chair at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Agriculture and Bioresources, Department of Animal and Poultry Science. His research focuses on sustainable beef cattle production, optimizing nutritional strategies for health and efficiency, and reducing environmental impacts. He uses techniques like the Rumen Simulation Technique (RUSITEC) to study ruminal fermentation and feed utilization.
