Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Juan D. Latorre's research focuses on optimizing gut health and performance in poultry, with a particular emphasis on the role of nutrition and feed additives. His work investigates the impact of probiotics, prebiotics, and phytogenic substances on intestinal integrity, immune responses, and overall health in broiler chickens. Latorre has also explored the effects of specific compounds, such as curcumin and copper acetate, against common poultry pathogens like Salmonella Typhimurium, examining their influence on intestinal permeability and cecal microbiota composition.

His research extends to understanding the challenges posed by environmental stressors, including heat stress and disease challenges like Eimeria spp. infections, and their consequences on poultry health, performance, and meat quality. Latorre also studies alternative feed ingredients, such as humic substances extracted from worm compost. His scholarly contributions are reflected in a substantial publication record, with 129 total publications and an h-index of 34, indicating significant impact within his field. He has collaborated extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Inkar Castellanos-Huerta, Danielle M. Graham, Billy M. Hargis, and Christine N. Vuong.
