OverviewAI-generated summary
Aaron J. Forga's research focuses on avian health, particularly concerning broiler chickens and turkeys. His work investigates the impact of various challenges on these animals, including heat stress, parasitic infections like Eimeria spp., and bacterial pathogens such as Enterococcus cecorum and Salmonella spp. Forga examines how these factors affect performance, intestinal integrity, gut microbiome composition, and bone health. He also studies the efficacy of potential interventions, such as essential oils and probiotics, in mitigating disease and improving animal welfare. His publications include studies on the effects of cyclic heat stress on broiler chickens, the development of probiotics for Salmonella control in turkeys, and the characterization of Enterococcus cecorum infections during embryogenesis in broiler chickens. Forga collaborates with researchers from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including Danielle Graham, Christine N. Vuong, and Juan D. Latorre.
