Biography
Mark completed his PhD at the University of New England in ruminant physiology and nutrition investigating the impact of digestive physiology on methane production and nutrient utilisation in sheep. He then undertook a senior research fellowship assessing the effectiveness of a novel biological compound, designed to regulate key gut kinetic regulators, in mitigating methane production and improving nutrient uptake from ruminants. Mark has since developed a new technique for determining faecal concentrations of non-absorbable digesta kinetic and digestibility markers in sheep and cattle.Currently he is the Lecturer of Animal Nutrition at Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga.
