Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

B.W. Parsons' research focuses on animal nutrition, specifically investigating the digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients in animal feedstuffs. His work has examined the metabolizable energy and amino acid digestibility in spray-dried animal plasma using broiler chick and precision-fed rooster assays. Parsons has also determined phytic acid disappearance, ileal phosphorus digestibility at various dietary calcium levels, and relative phosphorus bioavailability in several feed ingredients, including soybean meal, canola meal, and distillers dried grains with solubles. His studies have also involved quantifying secretory IgA and mucin excretion and their contribution to endogenous amino acid losses in roosters. Parsons has collaborated with R.L. Drysdale on four shared publications and Bradford G. Parsons on one shared publication, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
