Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Walter G. Bottje's research investigates the physiological and molecular responses of animals to dietary and environmental factors. His work has examined the impact of dietary protein and phosphorus deficiencies, as well as feed restriction, on liver mitochondrial transcriptomics in wethers. He has also studied gene expression in heat-stressed broilers, focusing on traits related to water efficiency and the modulation of the proteostasis network. Additionally, Bottje's research includes investigating the role of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 bioenriched chicken and eggs in maintaining vitamin D status in humans. His publications cover topics ranging from cellular adaptations in poultry muscle to the attenuation of blood flow hyperemia. Bottje has contributed to studies on feed efficiency in poultry and the effects of specific dietary supplements on animal growth and health.
