Fernanda Batistel is affiliated with the University of Florida in the United States and has contributed extensively to the fields of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology. Their research focuses primarily on ruminant nutrition, digestive physiology, animal growth and development, and genetic traits in livestock.

Their scholarly work spans several main topics, including:

  • Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology
  • Birth, Development, and Health
  • Muscle Metabolism and Nutrition
  • Genetic and Phenotypic Traits in Livestock
  • Fatty Acid Research and Health
  • Reproductive Physiology in Livestock
