Professor Dr. Gabriel Ribeiro

Biography

Gabriel Ribeiro is an Associate Professor and the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Chair at the University of Saskatchewan's College of Agriculture and Bioresources. His research focuses on uncovering nutritional strategies that improve health, performance, and profitability while simultaneously reducing the environmental impact of beef cattle production. Ribeiro works on optimizing grain and forage processing technologies to enhance rumen health, feed efficiency, and beef cattle productivity. His interests include developing nutritional strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in beef cattle and alternatives to using antibiotics as growth promoters. He employs in vitro, in situ, and in vivo approaches in his research and utilizes the Rumen Simulation Technique (RUSITEC), a semi-continuous in vitro system, to study ruminal fermentation, digestion, and the metabolism of feedstuffs. Ribeiro's overarching goal is to identify technologies and nutritional management practices that enhance the sustainability and productivity of forage-based feedlot beef cattle production systems.
