ARTICLE FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2022 67 About Stefano Vandoni Dr. Stefano Vandoni obtained his Master’s degree in Animal Nutrition and Animal Science at the University of Milan in 2003. In 2008, he obtained his PhD in Animal Nutrition and Food Safety at the Department of Veterinary Science and Technologies for Food Safety of the University of Milan, defending a dissertation on “Nutritional and technological strategies to improve beef cattle and veal calves’ management”. After that he continued to cooperate in the University of Milan as a Post Doc fellow till 2010, when he joined Alltech Italy as Representative Sales Manager till 2013. During these years, he was able to deepen his knowledge in ruminant nutrition, working both on business to business and directly on farm. Based on his experience and achievement, in 2014, he was promoted to Ruminant European Technical Coordinator and after one year, to Ruminant European Technical Manager. Starting from April 2016, he has been working in Balchem Animal Nutrition and Health, where he is covering a position as Ruminant Technical Service Manager in Europe, Middle East and Africa and recently as Global Technical Manager for NitroShure. effects of supplemental rumen-protected choline during the transition period on performance and health of parous dairy cows.
