Research summary
AI-generated

Macdonald Wick studies the quality, chemistry, and nutritional value of meat and animal-derived proteins, including topics like meat pigment stability, flavor compounds, and postmortem muscle changes in livestock. More recently, this work has expanded to include using fish and animal protein hydrolysates (proteins broken down into smaller pieces) to develop specialized feeds for young fish such as walleye, largemouth bass, and zebrafish. This research sits at the intersection of animal science, food science, and aquaculture nutrition.
