Wilhelm Windisch investigates the nutritional properties of feed materials and the physiological principles and tolerances of transformation of feed biomass in the metabolism of agricultural livestock. He focusses in particular on functional dietary compounds including antinutritive substances, bioavailability and metabolism of essential trace minerals, and the impact of livestock feeding on food quality, food safety and environment. After studying agricultural science at TUM, he finished his doctorate in 1988 and his habilitation in 1995. Prior to his appointment as full professor at TUM, he was full professor of Animal Nutrition at the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences Vienna (BOKU) (2002-2010).
