Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Khawla S. Alharbi's research focuses on poultry diseases, specifically investigating bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis lameness in broiler chickens. Her work explores various strategies to mitigate this condition, including the use of aerosol transmission models to induce lameness experimentally. Alharbi has published research examining the impact of dietary supplements, such as early 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-glycosides and organic trace minerals, on reducing lameness incidence. She also investigates the role of mycotoxins, like deoxynivalenol and fumonisins, in predisposing chickens to these infections. Further studies assess the efficacy of probiotic interventions, including those based on Enterococcus faecium and PoultryStar®Bro, and the combined effects of Spirulina platensis and organic trace minerals. Alharbi's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 8, with 19 total publications and 147 citations. She collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Adnan Alrubaye and Andi Asnayanti.
