Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

C.M. Owens is a researcher at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with a scholarly record indicated by an h-index of 40 and over 147 total publications, accumulating more than 6,202 citations. Their work has been recognized with a "high-impact researcher (highly cited)" designation.

Recent publications focus on broiler chickens, investigating the effects of heat stress, dietary modifications such as spirulina platensis meal inclusion, and light intensity on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality. Research also addresses myopathies in broilers and turkeys, including woody breast myopathy and white striping myopathy, exploring age-dependent gene expression and triglyceride kinetics. This work is supported by collaborations with Clay J. Maynard, Juan P. Caldas-Cueva, Andy Mauromoustakos, and Sami Dridi, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom Owens has co-authored multiple publications.

Owens leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, contributing to the body of knowledge in poultry science and animal health. The researcher's recent activity and publication output confirm ongoing engagement in their field.
