Ciara Carberry
Technologist - Animal BioscienceResearch Interests
Utilisation of a range of molecular approaches to characterise and quantify the ruminal microbiome in cattle divergent for host feed efficiency with specialist focus on characterisation of methane (CH4) producing rumen microbes.
Bovine and equine genetics and host feed efficiency, specifically the effects of dietary manipulation and supplementation and the interaction with the host microbiome.
