Research summary
AI-generated

Enkai Li's research focuses on pig and poultry nutrition, particularly how diet composition affects growth, energy use, gut health, and product quality in livestock. Recent work examines topics such as protein and energy sources for pigs, gut barrier function and inflammation in piglets, and supplements like yeast and enzymatic protein hydrolysates. The research combines animal feeding trials with laboratory measures like blood chemistry, intestinal tissue analysis, and calorimetry-based energy determination.
