Présentation

I am a research scientist at INRAE, the French national institute for research in agriculture, nutrition and environment, since 2012. I work on beef cattle nutrition and feed efficiency. My educational background includes a BSc in Veterinary Medicine (1997-2002; Spain and Belgium), a M.Sc and PhD on small ruminant nutrition (2005-2009; Spain) and a postdoctoral fellowship on dairy cattle nutrition and metabolism carried out in the Herbivore Research Unit at INRAE of Clermont-Ferrand-Theix (France; 2009-2012). My areas of expertise cover animal nitrogen metabolism in connection with animal feed efficiency, the evaluation of protein requirements in ruminants and the development of non-invasive methods to predict nitrogen partitioning and feed efficiency in growing ruminants. Lecturer for undergraduate students and supervisor/co-supervisor of PhD students and postdocs. More than 60 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters including the new updated INRA feeding system for ruminants. I belong to the editorial board of Journal of Agricultural Science (2016) and PCI in Animal (2020).
