About

I'm an animal nutritionist who turns laboratory data into rations that work on the farm.

I work as R&D Coordinator and Laboratory Manager at Global Nutritech Biyoteknoloji, where I lead the development of feed additives and premixes. In our laboratory I run feed, silage and TMR analyses, particle-size (Penn State) measurements and product evaluations.

I am also completing a master's degree in animal nutrition. My work focuses on the nutrition of dairy and beef cattle, rumen health and transition cow management.

Consulting for dairy and beef farms

  • Formulating new rations and reviewing your current ration
  • Interpreting feed, silage and TMR analyses; particle-size checks
  • Transition cow programmes and DCAD to prevent milk fever
  • Receiving and finishing rations and feed efficiency for beef cattle
  • Evidence-based assessment of feed additives

On this site I share technical articles based on peer-reviewed sources, free calculators and interactive learning tools.
