livestock-health
Livestock health research examines how animals raised for agriculture are affected by the plants they consume, including the nutritional quality, toxicity, and anti-nutritional factors present in forage and feed crops. From a plant science perspective, understanding these interactions drives breeding and biotechnology efforts to develop crops with improved digestibility, reduced harmful compounds, and enhanced phytochemical profiles that support animal wellbeing. This field highlights how plant secondary metabolites, fiber composition, and nutrient bioavailability directly influence the productivity and health outcomes of grazing and pen-fed animals.
