OverviewAI-generated summary
Alexis J Harness's research focuses on animal science, with a particular emphasis on livestock health, nutrition, and reproductive physiology. Harness has investigated the effects of various dietary supplements, including yeast cultures, essential oils, probiotics, and soybean oil, on the growth performance, health, and feed efficiency of receiving cattle and beef heifers. Research also includes evaluating reproductive protocols, such as CIDR protocols, and their impact on conception rates in heifers. Additionally, Harness studies methods for early disease detection in beef cattle, exploring the relationship between seasonality, bovine respiratory disease incidence, and nasal temperatures. Work also extends to parasite management, with studies on the efficacy of anthelmintics in beef calves and the impact of gestation nutrition on offspring performance.
