Dr. Rezamand's research centers on dairy nutrition and animal health. Key interests include the effects of weaning strategies and nutrition on inflammation in dairy calves, the impact of wildfire smoke (PM2.5) on livestock productivity, and the interplay between nutrient metabolism and health during the transition period in dairy cows. His applied research explores feed additives, agricultural coproducts, and processing methods to enhance nutrient utilization and promote sustainable animal agriculture. Recent collaborative work with Dr. Amy Skibiel investigates wildfire smoke effects, which is critical for western U.S. agriculture.
