Luis O. Tedeschi is a Professor of Animal Science at Texas A&M AgriLife Research and an internationally recognized leader in ruminant nutrition and systems modeling. His work bridges traditional nutrition science with advanced computational approaches, integrating mechanistic models with artificial intelligence and machine learning to improve livestock productivity, nutrient efficiency, and environmental sustainability. Dr. Tedeschi is the developer of widely used nutrition models, including the Ruminant Nutrition System and related large- and small-ruminant systems, and has contributed extensively to national and international modeling efforts. He served as lead modeler for the Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle (8th Revised Edition) and currently chairs key committees within the National Animal Nutrition Program, advancing climate-smart and precision nutrition strategies. With more than 300 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Tedeschi is at the forefront of digital and predictive innovation in animal agriculture.
