Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

C.M. Owens, a Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, conducts research focused on animal science, with a particular emphasis on the health, nutrition, and production of poultry. Their work investigates the impact of various dietary components and environmental stressors on broiler chickens and turkeys.

Recent publications explore the effects of essential oils, spirulina platensis meal, and reduced protein diets on growth performance, carcass traits, and meat quality in broilers. The researcher also examines the influence of cyclic heat stress models and feed additives on broiler physiology and meat quality. Further studies address myopathies in broilers and turkeys, including woody breast myopathy and white striping myopathy, and explore adaptive gene expression and triglyceride kinetics in affected birds. Owens also leads a research group and maintains an active lab website, collaborating with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on shared publications.
