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 the effects of various dietary interventions, including amino acid supplementation, essential oils, and plant-based feed additives like Spirulina platensis meal, on broiler chickens. These studies examine growth performance, carcass parameters, and muscle amino acid profiles, particularly under conditions such as cyclic heat stress. Maynard also explores the influence of dietary protein reduction and the assessment of limiting amino acids in broiler diets. His research extends to evaluating meat quality attributes, considering factors like broiler strain and sex. He has published 28 papers, with 296 citations, and holds an h-index of 11. Maynard collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including C.W. Maynard, C.M. Owens, Garrett J. Mullenix, and Sami Dridi.
