Negusse Fessehaye Kidane

Assistant Professor/Research Scientist of Animal Sciences

Disciplines

  • Animal Sciences

Research Interests

  • My current research interest includes improving feed utilization efficiency of goats, determining residual feed intakes (RFI) of different breeds of goats, evaluating novel freed biomass as livestock feed ingredients,
  • reducing environmental hoofprint of livestock by reducing methane emissions, monitoring the diet quality of free-grazing herbivores using NIRS technology, monitoring feed intake and feeding behavior using GrowSafe Computerized Feeding System.
