• His investigative efforts in this area include projects on production costs associated with parasite control in feedlot and range cattle and infertility associated with bovine trichomoniasis as follows:
  -Treatment of feedlot cattle for internal parasites and its effect on production parameters.
  -Control of bovine trichomoniasis through management.
  -Development of a vaccine to control bovine trichomoniasis.
  -Copper deficiency and its effect on production in range cattle.
