OverviewAI-generated summary

Diego Martínez's research focuses on broiler chicken physiology, nutrition, and meat production. His work investigates the relationship between dietary management, physiological growth, and metabolic processes in broilers. Recent publications explore the impact of protein and energy levels on broiler growth, the neurochemical composition of the intestinal tract, and the influence of serotonin on bacterial interactions within the gut. Martínez also studies the genetic and metabolic factors contributing to myopathies like woody breast syndrome in broilers, examining age-dependent gene expression and triglyceride kinetics.

Further research extends to the practical aspects of broiler production, including the assessment of body composition using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for developing and validating prediction models for processing weights. His investigations also consider the energetic costs associated with fasting in broilers, demonstrating a link between fasting heat production and body composition. Martínez leads a research group and collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including N. Suesuttajit, Cole Umberson, Jordan Weil, and Katie Hilton, on numerous shared publications.
