Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clay J. Maynard's research focuses on animal nutrition and its impact on poultry production and meat quality. His work investigates dietary strategies to optimize broiler chicken performance and carcass characteristics. Specific areas of study include the effects of reduced protein diets, the role of essential amino acids, and the inclusion of alternative feed ingredients such as Spirulina platensis meal.

Maynard's publications also explore the influence of environmental factors like cyclic heat stress on broiler chickens and the evaluation of essential oil formulations to mitigate these effects. He has published research on the meat quality attributes of male and female broilers across different strains and market programs, as well as the impact of dietary energy and amino acid density on broiler growth and carcass composition. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 13, with 28 total publications and 367 total citations. He has a notable publication history with collaborators at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including C.M. Owens, Garrett J. Mullenix, Sami Dridi, and Elizabeth S. Greene.
