Paulius Matusevičius

Paulius Matusevičius is a Professor at the Department of Animal Nutrition, part of the Veterinary Faculty at the Lithuanian University of Health Sciences (LSMU). He holds a Doctorate in Science (1999) and specializes in animal nutrition, livestock health, and veterinary medicine. His research focuses on optimizing animal diets, improving health outcomes in dairy cows, horses, calves, and other livestock, and understanding the roles of biomolecules like colostrum in animal immunity.

Research Interests: Dr. Matusevičius explores nutritional strategies to enhance animal well-being, including mineral supplementation in calves, dietary impacts on hoof health in horses, and mycotoxin detoxification in poultry feed. His work also addresses environmental factors influencing animal behavior and productivity, such as housing conditions and stress mitigation.

Articles Trends: His recent publications emphasize practical applications of nutritional science, such as colostrum's role in calf immunity, mineral deficiencies in livestock, and optimizing rabbit feed. His research often bridges laboratory analysis (e.g., biochemical markers, mineral content) with real-world farm management practices.

Advising & Education: He has supervised multiple theses on topics like dairy cow behavior, equine obesity, and chinchilla welfare. His academic contributions span over two decades, with collaborations across veterinary and agricultural disciplines.

Labs/Teams: Active within the LSMU Veterinary Academy and the Department of Animal Nutrition, he collaborates with institutions like the Olštyno Varmijos-Mazūrijos University for applied research projects.
