Expertise Summary
  Extension Programs: Some of my extension areas of interest include providing nutritional information for the average horse owner as well as the racehorse owner/trainer. I also aim to improve pasture quality in the state of New Jersey and surrounding areas through better pasture management. The bigger picture is to help promote the horse industry in NJ to people throughout the state. Research: The primary goal of my research lies in equine nutrition and specifically how it affects the performance of the equine athlete. Currently I am focusing on decreasing oxidative stress, muscle membrane leakage, and improving antioxidant status of exercising horses using various antioxidant supplements. In the past I have worked with competing endurance horses, and more recently at Rutgers I have started working with the Standardbred racehorse as a model for the athletic horse.
