Research summary
AI-generated

B.A. Wenner studies how the digestive systems of cattle, sheep, and goats (ruminants) break down feed, with particular attention to the microbes living in the rumen (the animal's main fermentation stomach) and how diet composition affects digestion, fermentation, and gas emissions like methane. This work often uses laboratory fermentation systems that simulate the rumen (continuous culture fermenters) alongside animal studies, and also extends to related topics like animal behavior and welfare, such as grazing behavior and responses to music during milking.

Publication output has been steady but modest and variable over the last decade, fluctuating between roughly 1 and 5 papers per year without a clear upward or downward trend.
