H. I. Calderón's research focuses on swine nutrition and growth performance, investigating the impact of various dietary components and additives. Recent publications explore the effects of low crude protein diets and the inclusion of coarse wheat bran as alternatives to zinc oxide in nursery pig diets. Studies also examine the role of live yeast and yeast extracts, with or without pharmacological levels of zinc, on growth performance and the antimicrobial susceptibilities of fecal *Escherichia coli*. Further investigations assess the influence of fiber source and crude protein levels on nursery pig performance and fecal microbial communities, as well as the effects of pharmacological zinc, diet acidification, and crude protein on nursery pig growth. Additionally, research evaluates microencapsulated organic acids and botanicals, and a product named Aviplus, on the growth performance of nursery and growing-finishing pigs. Calderón has published 31 papers, accumulating 126 citations and an h-index of 6. Collaborations include six shared publications with Robert D Goodband at the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station.
