Research Summary

(inferred from publications by AI)

The researcher has conducted extensive studies focusing on digestibility and microbial effects in ruminant animals, particularly examining feed additives such as HCl ash, cocoa pod husk, NaOH corn cob, and Cocoa placenta meal. Their work also investigates the nutritional value of cashew (DCAM) in rats, contributing to understanding how feed products affect animal performance. Furthermore, they explore the impact of coffee pulp processing on pigs' health and growth, highlighting its effects on digestibility and nutrient composition.
