Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Khawla Alharbi's research focuses on understanding and mitigating bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis lameness in broiler chickens. Her work investigates the predisposition of broilers to this condition by mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol and fumonisin, and explores the efficacy of various dietary strategies to prevent or reduce its incidence. These strategies include early supplementation with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-glycosides, the application of probiotics like PoultryStar®Bro and Enterococcus faecium-based formulations, and the timing of organic trace mineral supplementation. Alharbi also studies the impact of Spirulina platensis and organic trace minerals on the condition. Her research utilizes aerosol transmission models and Staphylococcus challenge models to assess these interventions. Additionally, her work extends to geese, investigating how Zn glycine mitigates LPS-induced hepatic injury and inflammation through the NrF2/NFκB signaling pathway.
