Overview

Helder Louvandini is affiliated with the Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil and has contributed extensively to the field of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, with a focus on Animal Science and Zoology, Agronomy and Crop Science, Small Animals, Plant Science, and Insect Science. Their research covers various aspects of animal nutrition, physiology, and parasitology, with particular attention to ruminants and small animals.

The scientist's main topics of research include:

  • Helminth infection and control
  • Ruminant Nutrition and Digestive Physiology
  • Rabbits: Nutrition, Reproduction, Health
  • Effects of Environmental Stressors on Livestock
  • Animal Nutrition and Physiology
  • Genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock
  • Agroforestry and silvopastoral systems

Louvandini has published multiple papers in well-established venues such as Animal Feed Science and Technology, Veterinary Parasitology, Small Ruminant Research, Tropical Animal Health and Production, and the Journal of Animal Science. Notable recent papers include:

  • "Heat stress effects on sheep: Are hair sheep more heat resistant?", 2020, Theriogenology
  • "Tannin supplementation modulates the composition and function of ruminal microbiome in lambs infected with gastrointestinal nematodes," 2020, FEMS Microbiology Ecology
  • "Use of agro-industrial by-products containing tannins for the integrated control of gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants," 2022, Parasite
  • "The effect of Haemonchus contortus and Trichostrongylus colubriforms infection on the ruminal microbiome of lambs," 2021, Experimental Parasitology
  • "Treating tropical grass with fibrolytic enzymes from the fungus Trichoderma reesei: Effects on animal performance, digestibility and enteric methane emissions of growing lambs," 2022, Animal Feed Science and Technology

In collaboration, Louvandini has worked frequently with several researchers including:

  • Adibe Luiz Abdalla
