RESEARCH ACTIVTIES
My current research activities focus on the consequences of new feeding strategies (e.g. crude protein reduction in broilers) and/or the use of new feedstuffs in diets (e.g. oilmeals, protein crops, insects…) on the sustainability of poultry production systems, with a special emphasis on protein self-sufficiency in France and Europe.
I am also interested in applying the “precision feeding” concepts to poultry to design more sustainable feeding strategies, both in broilers and layers.
To that purpose, I develop models both at animal and farm scales, and I use systemic approaches such as Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to evaluate the sustainability of poultry production systems. I also conceive or take part in in vivo nutritional trials.
