OverviewAI-generated summary
B.W. Parsons' research focuses on animal nutrition, particularly the digestibility and bioavailability of nutrients in animal feed. His work investigates the metabolizable energy and amino acid digestibility of various feed ingredients, including spray-dried animal plasma, soybean meal, canola meal, and distillers dried grains with solubles. Parsons has published research on methods for determining phytic acid disappearance and phosphorus digestibility in feedstuffs, utilizing broiler chick and precision-fed rooster assays. He also studies the quantification of endogenous amino acid losses and the relative bioavailability of minerals like zinc in different feed formulations. His work aims to provide a better understanding of nutrient utilization in poultry and other livestock, contributing to the development of more effective animal diets. Parsons holds an h-index of 5 and has authored 14 publications.
