Travis Mulliniks

Travis Mulliniks is Glenn & Mildred Harvey Associate Professor and Associate Department Head in the Department of Animal and Rangeland Sciences at Oregon State University. His research program focuses on improving beef production efficiency through nutritional physiology, reproductive management, and genetic selection strategies.

Research concentrates on:

• Metabolic efficiency in beef cattle systems
• Supplementation strategies for rangeland livestock
• Genetic basis of production traits
• Precision livestock technologies

Recent publications (2024-2025) examine virtual fencing impacts on livestock stress responses, genetic disorders affecting muscle metabolism, and nutritional interventions for reproductive efficiency.

Academic Leadership: Oversees graduate training in animal science disciplines and manages departmental academic programs.
