Rate My Professor Sergio Arispe

Arispe's research program centers on the interplay between nutrition and reproduction in ruminants, as well as the effects of various grazing programs on natural resources in the sagebrush steppe ecosystem. His extension efforts provide land managers and beef cattle producers with science-based tools for sustainable private and public land stewardship. Notable achievements include receiving the New Technologies for Agricultural Extension Fellowship from the eXtension Foundation in 2020, one of only eight national recipients. Through this fellowship, he developed and expanded a hybrid GIS and remote sensing training course titled "Equipping Western Rangeland Managers to Create Land Management Plans," training participants in creating science-based rangeland management plans. Key peer-reviewed publications authored or co-authored by Arispe include "Fall-winter grazing after fire in annual grass-invaded sagebrush steppe reduced annuals and increased a native bunchgrass" (Rangeland Ecology & Management, 2021), "Effects of vaccination against respiratory pathogens on feed intake, metabolic, and inflammatory responses in beef heifers" (Journal of Animal Science, 2015), "Supplementing Ca salts of soybean oil to late-gestating beef cows: impacts on performance and physiological responses of the offspring" (Journal of Animal Science, 2020), and "Determination of organosulfides from onion oil" (Foods, 2020). He has also produced extension publications such as "Management of grasshoppers and Mormon crickets on rangeland and pastures" (2025) and "Livestock disease traceability programs" (2024).
