Dr. Cesar Ocasio Vega

I provide technical and commercial support to animal nutrition and production companies. Promote the use of feed additives and alternatives to the use of feed medication. Develop new ideas and research that helps understanding the benefits of feed additives.

I have been working with the research group of Institute of Animal Nutrition and Physiology, Christian-Albrechts-Universität, Kiel, in a training and enrichment period in fermentation, rates of degradation and utilization of nutrients in ruminants using in vitro techniques.

I have worked in an I+D project doing: -Chemical-bromatological analysis of raw materials for animal nutrition -Realization of in vitro microbial cultures for the analysis of ruminal fermentation and fermentation cecal in rabbits -Analysis of fermentative parameters (NH3-N, volatile fatty acids, CH4). -Management and care of experimental animals. -Statistical analysis of data.

I have worked in collaboration with the research group of Animal Production of Technical School of Agricultural, Food and Biosystems Engineering, Technical University at Madrid, Madrid, Spain under a project titled: “Effect of diet supplementation with a probiotic or fatty acids and providing environmental enrichment on performance, carcass composition, digestibility, nitrogen and energy balance of growing rabbits”

I have worked in collaboration with the research group of Animal Production of Technical School of Agricultural, Food and Biosystems Engineering, Technical University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain under a project titled: “Influence of Ecobiol and Hepton on growing rabbit performance”
