Research summary

Enkai Li studies the digestive systems of farm animals such as pigs and ruminants, focusing on how diet, gut microbes, and the intestinal lining interact to affect animal growth and health. Their work includes examining intestinal barrier function (the gut lining's role in blocking harmful substances), effects of feed additives and fermented byproducts, and mechanisms of gut cell regulation at a molecular level. This research has applications in developing sustainable, antibiotic-free approaches to livestock nutrition.
