Profile

Dr. Liliane Silva is an Assistant Professor and Extension Specialist at the Animal and Veterinary Sciences Department at Clemson University. She received her B.S. in Agronomy and her M.S. in Pasture and Animal Sciences from the University of Sao Paulo. She graduated with her Ph.D. from the University of Florida and worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Auburn University. Dr. Silva has statewide research and Extension responsibilities under her forage-livestock systems program. Silva's research focuses on developing management strategies to improve forage agronomic and nutritive responses and animal performance and enhance production, sustainability, profitability, and resilience of ecosystems. Currently, her program's ongoing efforts include studies on grazing summer and winter cover crops, measuring greenhouse gases from forage-livestock systems, determining soil C and N accumulation, and heifer development on forage-based programs.

Research Interests

Dr. Silva's main interests encompass forage physiology, establishment and management, nutrient cycling dynamics, multispecies forage-based systems and ecosystem services delivered by grasslands. She also focuses on developing improved management practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the carbon footprint of forage and livestock systems.

Extension and Outreach

Development of multi-disciplinary forage-systems-related educational coursework and resources (e.g., courses, books, training) within the state, region, and nationally. In two years, Dr. Silva has implemented 75+ Extension programming activities and reached more than 3,000 people through in-person training activities in South Carolina. She has also developed several technical publications, posts, five manuals and three online courses.

She also develops online content through her media platforms entitled 'Forage Drops' (link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2fj2-Vnat-_GR6rFmLz8Ag) and more information about her research program can be found at the Clemson Forages Team webpage: https://blogs.clemson.edu/forageslab/
