Introducing the Business:
Rumenaut is an Agritech Start-up company based in Dunedin. We were established to develop and evaluate technologies for methane mitigation in ruminants. We have developed a unique in-vitro Robotic Rumen (RR) which simulates the rumen of an animal for testing feeds, products and methane inhibitors and provides data on methane, hydrogen and volatile fatty acid (VFA) outputs.
What the Business needs:
These roles have been filled.
Research Intern #1: Interpreting the Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) profile The intern will be involved in analysing the VFA data we have produced from our Robotic Rumen (RR) in the light of literaturerelating to the effects of different diets, diet quality and treatments on the rumen VFA profile.
Research Intern #2 : Modelling of the Robotic Rumen (RR) system The intern will analyse literature relating to the effects of diet and interventions that might impact metabolic pathways in the rumen and use this to inform interpretation of outputs from the Robotic Rumen.
