个人简介
Kristy is a senior lecturer in production animal nutrition and physiology at The University of Melbourne and is a Veski sustainable agriculture fellow. Dr DiGiacomo’s current research involves a variety of production animal species including sheep, dairy cattle, dairy goats and pigs. Her research focuses on livestock nutrition, physiology and adaptation to the external environment. Dr DiGiacomo’s research examines the role of nutrition and nutritional supplements in managing and manipulating animal growth and production under various physiological and environmental conditions such as lactation and heat stress. The focus of this research is to understand the impact of nutrition on metabolism and nutrient partitioning in order to manage animals for improved productivity and environmental sustainability. As a Veski sustainable research fellow, Kristy is researching the sustainable production of animal feed via the bioconversion of food and feed wastes into edible insects. In this research, black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) are reared on waste sourced from food and feed production (such as supermarkets), before being processed and utilized as a protein and fat rich animal feed source. Kristy is researching the production of BSFL from various feed sources and investigating the growth, health and meat quality of production animals fed diets incorporating BSFL. Kristy is a passionate advocate for female leadership in STEMM and is a member of the homeward bound (HB5) leadership program.
