Profile

Professor Germán David Mendoza Martínez graduated as a Veterinary Zootechnist from Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Xochimilco Campus. He obtained his master's degree at the Center for Livestock of the Postgraduate College in 1984 in Mexico and his doctoral studies at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln graduating in 1991 with experiments in the nutrition of ruminants. Later he made a post-doctoral stay at the State University of New Mexico doing wildlife nutrition studies in 1998.

Professor Mendoza has been a member of the National System of Mexican Researchers since 1987 and was distinguished as a national researcher Level III since 2000; he is also a member of the Mexican Academy of Sciences (2002) and the Veterinary Mexican Academy (2000). He has been part of numerous scientific committees in the National Science and Technology Council of Mexico (CONACYT) and national and international scientific societies.

In 2002 he received the State Award for Science and Technology in the State of Mexico. In 2007 he was given the ¨Reconocimiento al Mérito Científico¨ by the Benemérita Autonomous University of Puebla for his studies on wildlife. In 2017 he received the IV Foundation Award for the Spanish Confederation of Composite Food Manufacturers (CESFAC), awarded by the Royal Academy of Veterinary Sciences of Spain 2017.

He is an active partner of national and international scientific groups, highlighting the Mexican Association of Animal Nutrition Specialists, where he participated in the Scientific Committee and received the Molese Solomon Medal in 2016.

Within his field of research, he has studied the digestion of starch and cellulose in ruminants, the nutritional assessment of wildlife habitats, the development of simulation models applied to nutrition, and the evaluation and development of herbal additives for ruminants.

Professor Mendoza has directed 6 Bachelor's Thesis, 27 Master's, 20 Ph.D., and 10 Postdoctorates. Among its publications, he has 240 documents, an H 30 index, and more than 2000 appointments. Author of four animal nutrition books. He has teaching experience since 1983 at the undergraduate and postgraduate level in various institutions in Mexico. He is currently the Ph.D. Coordinator in Agricultural Sciences from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Xochimilco Campus in Mexico City.
