OverviewAI-generated summary
Diego A. Lopez's research focuses on animal nutrition, particularly swine and poultry. His work investigates the digestibility of various feed components and their impact on animal growth and health. This includes studying the effects of different feed ingredients, such as cheese coproducts and feed phosphates, on nutrient utilization. Lopez also examines the influence of feed processing methods, like pelleting, on diet formulation and digestibility, specifically looking at crystalline amino acids and reducing sugars.
His publications also touch upon broader health perspectives, including a pilot study on leptospirosis surveillance from a One Health viewpoint. Lopez's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6, with 30 total publications and 81 total citations. He collaborates with researchers such as Grady A. Privett and Robert D. Goodband at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
