The Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences cordially invites you to a Public Lecture by Prof. Elijah G. Kiarie, a professor and holder of The McIntosh Family Professorship in Poultry Nutrition at the University of Guelph.
Title: New Frontiers in Monogastric Nutrition: Understanding the Interface of Nutrition and immunocompetence.
Prof. Elijah G. Kiarie
He received PhD and Post-Doctoral training in monogastric nutrition from the University of Manitoba. His research program harnesses basic and applied research to solve contemporary challenges in animal protein production. Current research focus: 1) Integration of parental, in-ovo and early life nutrition strategies to bolster gastrointestinal and skeletal development for enhanced productivity and reduction in antibiotic use and 2) Evaluation of novel feed ingredients, feedstuffs processing technologies and innovative feed additives to mitigate feed cost and environmental impact of animal protein production. He teaches Monogastric Nutrition and Animal Disorders courses at the undergraduate level, and Growth and Metabolism at graduate level.
