Overview

PhD, Professor, Doctoral supervisor, Member of the 7th and 8thAnimal Husbandry Discipline Evaluation Committee of the State Council, Vice President of the Animal Nutrition Branch of the Chinese Society of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine, Member of the China Animal Nutrition Guidance Committee, Chief Scientist of Feed and ForageIndustry System of Shaanxi Province, Academic Leader of theAnimal Nutrition and Feed Science Discipline of Northwest A&F University.

Research

Prof. Yaofocuses on the nutritional regulation principle of efficient energy utilization in dairy animals as the main scientific problem. He conducted systematic researches on rumen health and efficient fermentation, regulation of starch digestion in the small intestine, liver energy utilization, and mammary gland biology. His research reveals the carbohydrate metabolism mechanism in dairy animals and establishes the Carbohydrate Balance Index (CBI) system and integrated regulation technology for efficient energy utilization.
