Märehtijöiden ja yksimahaisten tutkimus keskittyy vaihtoehtoisten rehujen, kuten palkokasvien säilöntään ja hyödyntämiseen. Uusien valkuaislähteiden kuten levien ja hyönteisten käyttöä tutkitaan rehujen raaka-aineina, koska valkuaisomavaraisuuden lisäämistä tavoitellaan sekä kansallisesti että EU-tasolla.
