University of Vermont Encouraged faculty to develop online and online/hybrid courses, and new summer courses. Initiated and led the development of three new courses offered by the Department. Established a new winter semester course in Ecuador on “Alpaca husbandry and biology.” Established a Matriculation Agreement with the University of Glasgow (UG), where UVM Animal

Science students completed joint BS/Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery (BVMS) degrees by attending the UG in their 4th year, then returning to UVM to graduate, before attending 2nd year at UG.

Established agreements with the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College and the University of Edinburgh’s Royal Veterinary College, which guaranteed 3 to 5 veterinary slots, respectively, to qualified animal science students each year.

MAJOR RESEARCH OBJECTIVES AND INTERESTS: • Human Gut Microbiome Develop a diagnostic tool for prevention and/or early detection of colon cancer. Establish correlations between various clinical disorders and the production of hydrogen versus methane, and

the influence of differences in dietary habits. Use molecular techniques to identify and enumerate human methanogens, and to correlate this information

with breath methane from individuals from four major colonic groups: (1) healthy colon, (2) inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, (3) irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and (4) colon cancer.

• Animal Gut Microbiome Improve efficiency and sustainability of on farm production by reducing enteric methane. Identify fibrolytic bacteria isolated from the rumen wild herbivores (e.g. moose), which could be used to

improve fermentation efficiency of feed in domestic livestock. Target rumen ciliated protozoa and significantly reduce their numbers in the rumen, allowing more protein

and other nutrients to be freed up for increased productivity. Optimize the specificity of antigens, and to evaluate immunological responses. Development of molecular probes to detect changes in the composition of the microbial population, and to

quantify the density of various microbial groups in the rumen.


11

• BioEnergy/Biofuels • Identify novel cellulolytic bacteria in herbivores (e.g., moose, pandas), which are capable of hydrolyzing

cellulose with high efficiencies, for improved production of biofuels. • Enhance and/or to seed anaerobic digesters with more potent methane producing strains of methanogenic

archaea (i.e., methanogens) to increase gas production. • Correlate in vitro gas production to the density of the methanogens and other key microorganisms found. • Biological control of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in anaerobic digesters by identifying and manipulating sulfate

reducing bacteria (SRB). PATENTS GRANTED
