Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clay J. Maynard's research focuses on animal nutrition and meat quality, particularly in broiler chickens. His work investigates the impact of various dietary components and environmental conditions on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and muscle composition. Recent publications include studies on amino acid nutrition for protein reduction, the effects of essential oils and herbal adaptogens under heat stress, and the inclusion of Spirulina platensis meal in broiler diets. Maynard also examines factors influencing broiler performance and behavior, such as light intensity, and has published research on meat quality attributes in male and female broilers from different commercial strains. He holds an h-index of 12 with 330 citations across 28 publications. Key collaborators include C.W. Maynard, C.M. Owens, Garrett J. Mullenix, and Sami Dridi, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
