OverviewAI-generated summary
Benjamin W. Parsons' research focuses on animal nutrition, particularly the nutrient requirements and digestive processes of poultry. His work has investigated the impact of dietary components, such as amino acids, calcium, and organic acids, on the growth performance, nutrient digestibility, and gut microbial populations of chicks. Parsons has also examined the effects of feed processing methods, like overprocessing of soybean meal, on amino acid availability.
His research extends to the utilization of phosphorus in animal diets and the role of phytase in enhancing its availability for poultry. Parsons has also studied the effects of dietary available phosphorus levels and phytase on laying hen performance. His scholarly contributions include over 245 publications and a citation count of over 8,500, with an h-index of 55. He has collaborated with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including R.L. Drysdale and S.C. Wells.
