OverviewAI-generated summary
K.B. Nelson's research interests encompass both animal nutrition and the molecular underpinnings of specific health conditions. In the realm of animal science, Nelson has investigated the effects of dietary amino acid compositions and processing methods on broiler performance. Recent publications include studies on dietary lysine and zinc levels, glycine, serine, and arginine additions, and the titration of dietary histidine in various broiler lines. Further work has examined water intake and conversion ratios across different commercial broiler lines, as well as the assessment of soybean processing add-backs.
Beyond animal nutrition, Nelson's work also delves into human health, with a focus on neonatal encephalopathy. This research explores the epidemiology and etiological factors contributing to this condition, including the role of the placenta. Nelson's scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 18, with 1,273 total citations across 37 publications. This work has been supported by federal grants totaling over $1.6 million, including awards from the NIH and NSF for gene therapy development, extracellular matrix biofiber engineering, and advanced sensing technologies.
