Proud to have our lab representing @UTKnoxville & @UTIAg at #ASMMicrobe 2026 in D.C.
Our students are presenting research spanning #FeedSupplements, #MethaneMitigation, #FeedEfficiency, & next-gen #Probiotics—all aimed at improving the future of #AnimalAg.

Excited to share Katie Feldmann's publication on the first complete genome sequence of Ligilactobacillus animalis NP51. Having a fully closed genome provides a useful reference for future probiotic functional/applied work in beef cattle.

Neglected to take pictures of the actual field day, but nothing like seeing cows lined up for the GreenFeed. These girls are a part of our lab’s ongoing @FoundationFAR project looking for “molecular phenotypes” that might be indicators of forage-based efficiency.
