Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

J.Z. Hiltz's research at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville focuses on animal science, with a particular emphasis on poultry production and physiology. Hiltz has investigated factors influencing broiler performance, including dietary nutrient interactions, such as the impact of leucine and isoleucine on valine requirements. Additionally, Hiltz has explored water intake and water conversion ratios across different broiler lines, contributing to the understanding of resource utilization in commercial systems. Recent work has also examined physiological indicators, such as blood plasma biomarkers, related to conditions like woody breast disease in broilers. Hiltz has also contributed to applied agricultural technology through the development of low-flow water monitoring systems.

This research is supported by collaborations with other University of Arkansas faculty, including Sara Orlowski, Clay J. Maynard, C.W. Maynard, and Nicholas B. Anthony. Hiltz's publication record includes work on animal models and agricultural systems, with scholarship metrics indicating an h-index of 6 and 315 total citations across 10 publications.
