Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

E. B. Kegley, a Professor in Animal Science at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, investigates factors influencing livestock performance and health. His research group's work has explored the impact of dietary supplements, such as bambermycin, monensin, and supplemental trace minerals, on the growth and performance of cattle. Additionally, Kegley has studied the effects of different anthelmintic regimens on replacement beef heifers and the efficacy of condensed tannin in mitigating tall fescue toxicosis in ewes.

His publications also address the respiratory microbiome of feedlot cattle and its association with disease, including a meta-analysis on the effect of bovine respiratory disease on this microbial community. Further research has examined the influence of tillage methods and seeding rates of wheat pasture on forage production and calf performance. Kegley's work is supported by extensive publication records, with over 250 publications and a citation count of 2,967, contributing to his designation as a highly cited researcher. He collaborates with several researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Jeremy G. Powell and Robin A. Cheek.
