In collaboration with Italian and foreign researchers, her research activity deals with: rearing systems and welfare of rabbits, broiler chickens and layer hens; harmonization of studies in rabbit nutrition and feeding; protein and energy metabolism, nutritional requirements and relationships with health in growing rabbits and reproducing does. Among the other research topics, effects of feeding, rearing and hosing systems on meat quality (veal, rabbit, fish, broiler chickens); effect of rearing systems of welfare, freshness, quality and safety of fish and molluscs.

In collaboration with Italian and foreign researcher, her research activity mainly dealt with rabbit science. Initially, main research topics were harmonization of rabbit feed evaluation; energy and protein metabolism, nutritive requirements and relationships with health status in growing rabbits and reproducing does. During the last 10 years, researches has been especially devoted to the development of alternative housing systems for growing rabbits and reproducing does, in view of animal welfare and behavior, growth performance and product quality. Among most recent research topics, strategies for improving performance, meat quality, health and welfare of poultry. Other research topics included feeding, management and rearing factors affecting meat quality (poultry, veal, rabbits, fish); use of NIRS analysis to characterize feeds for animals and meat; effect of rearing system on welfare, freshness, nutritional quality and safety (PCBs and heavy metals) of sea bass; effect of rearing systems on production, egg quality and welfare of laying hens.
Effects of housing systems on performance and welfare of growing rabbits and does. Effects of ontogenetic and rearing factors on perormance, welfare, myopathy occurrence and meat quality in broiler chickens. Welfare, production and egg quality in laying hens kept under alternative rearing systems. Rearing freshwater species in aquaponics.
