Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

C. G. Shashank's research investigates the physiological and genetic adaptations of livestock and poultry to environmental stressors, particularly heat and altitude. His work examines how these factors influence growth performance, heat resistance, and carcass traits in various animal genotypes. Shashank also explores the application of omics strategies, such as transcriptomics, to identify biomarkers related to male fertility and climate resilience in farm animals. He has published on non-invasive methods for quantifying heat stress in dairy cattle and on nutritional strategies for mitigating heat stress in ruminants. His research network includes collaborators Umesh D. Wankhade, James D. Sikes, Henry A. Paz, and Craig Porter, all from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. Shashank's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, with 36 total publications and 118 citations.
