About

Robert Rhoads is a Professor at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the United States. His research focuses on the impacts of heat stress on livestock, particularly in relation to skeletal muscle growth, nutrition, and immune responses in dairy cattle and pigs. Recent publications include studies on fetal programming, gastrointestinal permeability, and the effects of biological sex on stress responses in livestock.
