Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Cole Umberson's research focuses on broiler physiology and nutrition, with a specific interest in factors influencing growth, body composition, and meat quality. His work investigates the relationship between dietary energy and protein management and the sustainable production of meat broilers. Umberson has studied the impact of fasting on broiler heat production and body composition, and has explored the use of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for predicting processing weights and assessing body composition. His publications also address myopathies in broilers, examining age-dependent gene expression and triglyceride kinetics in affected tissues. Umberson collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including N. Suesuttajit, Diego Martínez, Jordan Weil, and Katie Hilton, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. His work contributes to a deeper understanding of broiler production efficiency and animal health.
