Work Experience:
Dra. Elghandour has been a key faculty member at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science, Autonomous University of the State of Mexico, where she has conducted significant research in the field of animal nutrition, specifically focusing on the use of enzymes and probiotics in ruminant diets to improve fermentation and overall animal health.
Recent Research Projects:
- Impact of Exogenous Enzymes on Ruminal Fermentation:
- This project evaluated the effects of various enzyme formulations on the fermentation of low-quality forages, aiming to identify the most effective enzymes for enhancing feed utilization.
- Role of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Herbivore Nutrition:
- Investigating how the addition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to the diet of herbivores influences ruminal fermentation and overall animal health.
