Rodrigo de Nazaré Santos Torres

This researcher studies beef and dairy cattle nutrition, physiology, and meat quality, with particular focus on feedlot cattle performance, rumen function, and factors affecting meat tenderness and fat content (marbling). Much of the recent work uses meta-analysis (combining results across many studies) and metabolomic/proteomic profiling to understand how diet, supplements, and management practices affect growth, carcass traits, and sensory quality of beef, particularly in Nellore and crossbred cattle common in tropical production systems.

Publication output grew substantially from 2017-2020 (1-2 papers/year) to a sustained higher level of roughly 8-14 papers per year from 2021 onward.
