Dr Nyachoti, professor and director of the T. K. Cheung Centre for Animal Science Research at U of M, is known for his internationally recognised research program emphasising the nutritional characterisation of feed ingredients and nutrition and gut health interactions to advance productivity, profitability and sustainability of the livestock industry. His research focuses on improved dietary energy and nutrient utilisation, gut health and function, and environmental impact mitigation.
A professor of animal science, Dr Nyachoti currently advises four masters and three Ph.D. students, directs one research associate and has advised an additional 37 graduate students, eight post-doctoral fellows and seven research associates since joining U of M in 2000.
He has authored or co-authored over 250 papers in peer-reviewed journals and earns more than 1,000 citations per year. He has made over 125 conference presentations and given 87 invited presentations in 16 countries. In 2013, Dr Nyachoti received the Canadian Society of Animal Science Award for Excellence in Nutrition and Meat Sciences.
