Research summary

Kolapo M. Ajuwon studies animal nutrition and gut health in livestock, particularly pigs and poultry, focusing on how diet, toxins, and microbial products affect intestinal barrier function, inflammation, and metabolism. Much of the work examines how compounds like mycotoxins (e.g., deoxynivalenol), fatty acids, and dietary supplements (quercetin, yeast, EGF, selenium) influence intestinal cell integrity and animal growth performance. The research combines cell culture models (such as pig intestinal epithelial cells) with whole-animal feeding studies in pigs, poultry, and mice.
