Kleves Almeida is a Research Scientist II in Dairy Nutrition at the University of New Hampshire, affiliated with the Department of Agriculture, Nutrition, and Food Systems (College of Life Sciences and Agriculture). Holding a Ph.D. in Dairy Science, his work focuses on optimizing dairy cattle production through applied research.
- B.Sc. in Animal Science (Brazil)
- Ph.D. in Dairy Science (University of New Hampshire)
His research addresses three primary areas: (1) enhancing production performance of dairy cows through feed supplementation strategies; (2) reducing enteric methane emissions to improve environmental sustainability; and (3) optimizing nitrogen utilization for both productivity and ecological efficiency. Key studies explore calcium nitrate supplementation, microbial additives, and alternative feed sources like flaxseed and Ascophyllum nodosum.
Recent publications (2022-2025) demonstrate interdisciplinary focus on agricultural sustainability. Themes include methane mitigation through dietary interventions, nitrogen management systems, and utilization of crop residues. Subfields span ruminal microbiology, feed formulation, milk composition analysis, and climate-smart dairy practices.
Technical support for dairy farmers features prominently in his work, with laboratory research at the Fairchild Dairy Teaching & Research Center. Applications of circular economy principles and heat stress management systems highlight practical implementation of findings.
