Marko Rudar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at Auburn University's College of Agriculture. His research focuses on swine nutrition, protein metabolism, and sustainable utilization of animal byproducts. He investigates dietary supplements like benzoic acid and cysteine utilization in pig growth and health. Recent work includes upcycling poultry byproducts into value-added bioproducts and studying the effects of weaning stress on intestinal and liver metabolism.
Dr. Rudar's studies emphasize neonatal pig physiology, including prematurity's impact on muscle growth and insulin signaling. He has explored amino acid metabolism pathways, particularly cysteine, taurine, and glutathione dynamics in pigs. His work bridges nutritional science with sustainable agriculture, targeting waste valorization through bioconversion processes.
His research trends include optimizing low-protein diets, improving gut health via feed additives, and leveraging biotechnological methods to convert agricultural waste. Key areas of focus are the interplay between nutrition, muscle development, and stress responses in livestock. Collaborative efforts with industry and academia aim to advance both animal health and environmental sustainability.
Auburn University affiliations include the Animal Sciences Department and participation in agricultural research initiatives. His work is supported by grants addressing nutritional strategies for improved livestock productivity and resource efficiency.
