209B Animal Sciences

Dr. Shawn Archibeque, a ruminant nutritionist, began his scientific training and education as a ruminant nutritionist at North Carolina State University.  He continued his education at Texas A&M with Dr. Stephen Smith, an expert in adipose development of livestock species.  Shawn conducted research with the meat science components of beef cattle production, and it enabled him to apply cellular and enzymatic-based mechanisms for describing nutritional manipulations of beef carcass quality.

Dr. Archibeque was employed at the USDA Meat Animal Research Center as a postdoc Research Associate under the guidance of Dr. Calvin Ferrell. Shawn's program was focused on manipulating dietary regimens to optimize nutrient utilization and minimize negative environmental impacts of animals housed in confined feeding operations.  Shawn would like to continue to develop his research program without sacrificing productivity or carcass quality.

Shawn received his B.S. in 1998 from CSU, his M.S. in 2000 from North Carolina State University, and his Ph.D. in 2003 from Texas A&M.  Shawn has one son, Winston.
