OverviewAI-generated summary

James Higuita, a graduate student at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, focuses his research on poultry health, specifically investigating bacterial infections in broiler chickens. His work examines the impact of beneficial bacteria, such as Bifidobacteria and Lactic Acid Bacteria, applied in ovo to broiler chickens. This research aims to understand how these probiotics influence enteric colonization by opportunistic pathogens and affect early broiler performance. Higuita also conducts reviews on specific poultry diseases, such as Enterococcus cecorum infections, and develops models to study disease transmission dynamics during the hatching phase. His scholarly contributions include three publications with a total of 14 citations and an h-index of 2. Key collaborators in his research network include Danielle Graham and Aaron J. Forga.
