OverviewAI-generated summary
Mikayla S. Spinler's research focuses on optimizing animal nutrition and feeding strategies, particularly for lactating sows. Her work investigates the precise requirements of lysine and other amino acids to enhance sow and litter performance. Spinler has published studies evaluating the effects of different amino acid ratios, such as histidine:lysine, and the impact of feed additives like flavors on feed intake and lactation outcomes. She also examines the efficacy of various management strategies, including split suckling, on piglet growth and mortality.
Her research extends to the comparison of precision feeding versus conventional methods, assessing their influence on nitrogen levels and feed costs. Spinler's work on growing-finishing pigs explores the effects of tryptophan:lysine ratios and the inclusion of dried distillers grains with solubles on growth and carcass characteristics. She has collaborated with researchers from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station on multiple publications, contributing to a total of 27 publications with an h-index of 2 and 8 citations.
