Dr. Duong Nguyen Khang is a professor of Veterinary Biosciences at the Faculty Of Animal Science And Veterinary Medicine - Nong Lam University in Vietnam, where he currently serves as Director of Research and Technology Transfer Center of the University. His research focuses on livestock management and agricultural by-product utilization. He examines metabolism and digestion in beef cattle, dairy cattle, and meat goats to enhance feed efficiency and animal health, and explores agricultural by-products as feed for ruminants. His work includes addressing negative energy balance in newborn animals and developing methods for preventing and treating lameness in cattle. Dr. Khang also focuses on transferring and commercializing technology for processing agricultural by-products into beef feed, contributing to sustainable development in smallholder farms in the Mekong Delta. Additionally, he investigates hormonal therapies for cattle infertility and the impact of environmental factors on cattle physiology. His research includes high-tech applications in black soldier fly production and biogas technology to improve waste management and renewable energy production. Dr. Khang also works on agricultural waste management and renewable energy solutions to reduce methane emissions, aiming to promote sustainable animal husbandry and tackle modern agricultural challenges.
