OverviewAI-generated summary
Alexis Harness's research focuses on improving livestock health and production through various nutritional and management strategies. Her work investigates the impact of dietary components and supplementation on animal growth, feed efficiency, and overall health. Specifically, she has studied the effects of melatonin supplementation in gestating dams on offspring performance and the efficacy of probiotics and direct-fed microbials in receiving cattle diets. Harness also evaluates methods for assessing and managing parasitic infections in cattle, including fecal egg count reduction tests. Her research extends to the influence of diet formulation on reproductive efficiency in developing heifers. She collaborates with researchers at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including Robin A Cheek, Brittni P Littlejohn, Doug L Galloway, and C.R. Looney.
