OverviewAI-generated summary

Inkar Castellanos-Huerta's research focuses on the health and nutrition of poultry, with an emphasis on disease prevention and mitigation strategies. Her work investigates the use of natural compounds, such as curcumin and essential oils, as alternatives to antibiotics for reducing the incidence and severity of common poultry diseases like necrotic enteritis and coccidiosis. Castellanos-Huerta also studies the impact of feed additives, like humic acids, on the gut integrity, microbiota, and immune response of turkey poults, particularly in the context of aflatoxin-contaminated diets.

Her publications also explore advancements in vaccine development and delivery, including the use of genetically modified algae for expressing antigens for avian influenza virus. Collaborating with researchers from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including Juan D. Latorre, Danielle Graham, Billy M. Hargis, and Christine N. Vuong, Castellanos-Huerta has contributed to a body of work focused on improving poultry health and productivity. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 7, with 37 total publications and 126 total citations.
