The main objective of the Grazing Systems Research Lab is to investigate strategies of precision management in grazing systems to improve sustainability. Sustainability integrates financial returns with improving welfare of animals and people, and managing ecosystems appropriately. We seek to use technology to help Oklahoma ranchers make better management decisions, which can accomplish all the goals of sustainability.
Our lab manages 3 research facilities:
We utilize new technology to help capture a new generation of data from our experiments.
Our lab has experience in conducting original experiments and sponsored research using Good Laboratory Practices procedures for FDA, EPA, etc. We have published in the Professional Animal Science, Journal of Animal Science, and many other journals.
