OverviewAI-generated summary

Juan D. Latorre's research focuses on animal nutrition and physiology, with a particular emphasis on gut health and the impact of various dietary components on poultry. His work investigates the effects of probiotics, prebiotics, and phytogenic substances, such as curcumin and essential oils, on optimizing gut health, performance, and immune response in broiler chickens. Latorre has explored the efficacy of these substances in mitigating challenges like Salmonella Typhimurium infection, intestinal permeability issues, and the adverse effects of cyclic heat stress.

His research also extends to evaluating the potential of natural compounds and feed additives, including humic substances and herbal betaine, to improve intestinal integrity, bone mineralization, and meat quality in poultry. Latorre has also contributed to the understanding of disease challenges in poultry, including Eimeria spp. and Histomonas meleagridis, and has investigated live-attenuated vaccine candidates. His scholarly output includes a significant number of publications, with a notable h-index of 34 and over 3,300 citations, reflecting his extensive contributions to the field. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Inkar Castellanos-Huerta, Danielle M. Graham, and Billy M. Hargis.
