OverviewAI-generated summary
Chad M Pilcher's research focuses on swine nutrition and management, investigating factors that influence growth performance, profitability, and animal welfare. His work includes studies on the effects of different dietary ingredients, such as processed soybean meal and phytogenic feed additives, on nursery pig performance and health. Pilcher also examines the impact of nutrient levels, including lysine and calcium, on growth outcomes.
Further investigations explore the relationship between pig body weight and market variation, as well as strategies for producers and nutritionists to optimize feed costs and profitability under varying economic conditions. His research collaborations include work with Sabrina May, Wesley Schweer, Carine M Vier, and Alan J. Warner, all affiliated with the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station. Pilcher's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 6 with 30 total publications and 118 citations.
