Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP). Campus de Dracena. Faculdade de Ciências Agrárias e Tecnológicas (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Animal Scientist (1999), Master in Animal Nutrition and Production (2002), PhD in Animal Nutrition and Feeding (2005), and Associate Professor (2018) at the Faculty of Agrarian and Technological Sciences of the São Paulo State University Júlio de Mesquita Filho (FCAT - UNESP), Dracena Campus. Between 2007 and 2008, she completed a research internship at the University of Toronto, Canada. She teaches undergraduate courses in Animal Science and Agronomic Engineering, being responsible for the subjects of Non-Ruminant Nutrition and Feeding, Poultry Farming, Feed Formulation, and Feed Processing. She is a supervisor and permanent faculty member in the Graduate Program in Animal Science and Technology at UNESP (Master's level), a joint program between the Ilha Solteira and Dracena campuses, where she is responsible for the subject of Food Analysis. She has published 44 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 7 book chapters, and over 200 papers in conference proceedings. She is currently supervising 1 postdoctoral researcher and advising 2 masters students, 3 undergraduate research students, and 1 Technical Training student (TT-3 level) funded by FAPESP. Her most recent research focuses on the use of performance-enhancing antimicrobials, such as organic acids and essential oils, as alternatives to traditional antibiotics in the diet of broiler chickens and laying hens challenged with Eimeria spp. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Concern about food safety, as well as the impact of chemical residues from food on human health has gradually increased in recent years, causing the animal production industry to seek significant solutions and undergo major transformations. The prolonged use of antibiotics in animal feeding can cause risks to the health of consumers, since residues of the same can be found in products of …
The aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of the microencapsulated sodium butyrate (MSB) on the replacement of antibiotics on performance, immune system, intestinal mucosa turnover rate, morphometry and lesion scores of the small intestine, oocyst count in the excreta, and characterize specific bacterial groups present in the intestinal mucosa of broilers challenged with with E…
It is important to determine the current nutritional values of ingredients for the practice of feed formulations. The objective of this research is to determine the fatty acid profile and evaluate the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) and the AME corrected for nitrogen balance (AMEn) for laying hens of the following types of oils: soybean, sunflower, linseed and fish. Thus, a completely…
With the growing expansion of the broiler meat market, and increased demand for meat quality, consumers expect it to be derived from healthy animals, slaughtered and processed hygienically, being rich in nutrients for feeding. Since the prohibition of antibiotics as growth promoter, other additives are being studied, among them, the organic acids. These acids are rarely described in the l…

Alternative additives to growth promoting antibiotics can improve the health of the gastrointestinal tract of broilers by modulating the microbial population and improving nutrient utilization. Therefore, the objective of this study will be to evaluate the combination of essential oils (cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, thymol) and butyric acid on intestinal morphometry and organ weight of broil…
The aim of this research will be to evaluate the use of organic acids in isolated-protected form and/or as a blend, replacing growth-promoting antibiotics in broiler diets on the performance and intestinal morphology of broilers experimentally challenged with contaminated drinking water with reused poultry litter. For this, 900 Ross male 1-day-old male chicks will be used, distributed in …

The goblet cells present in villi and crypts of the intestine of birds, have an important function in the maintenance and development of the intestinal epithelium. The mucus secreted has the important function of protection against infections, preventing the contact of microorganisms with the epithelial cells. The aim of this research will be to evaluate the number of intestinal goblet ce…
The immediate provision of a nutritional supplement for chicks, in the first hours of life, promotes the formation of a healthy and balanced microbiota. The maintenance of intestinal health is essential in optimizing gene expression of the birds, allowing proper absorption of nutrients by the body, which provides better performance. System intensive production of broiler chickens does not…
