Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Sandra Coelho"
- Sandra Coelho's research focuses on improving the health, performance, and feed efficiency of dairy calves through various dietary supplements and management strategies, including sodium butyrate and essential oils.
- Recent studies highlight the importance of assessing residual feed intake (RFI) as a vital metric for feed efficiency in pre-weaning dairy calves, addressing a gap in research that has predominantly concentrated on lactating cows.
- Coelho's work also explores the implications of technologies like recombinant bovine somatotropin and vaccination strategies on calf development, as well as the farmer's perceptions of precision technologies in Brazilian dairy farms, emphasizing the need for integrating innovative practices in dairy management.
