OverviewAI-generated summary
M.T. Kidd's research focuses on animal nutrition, particularly in poultry. Investigations have examined the effects of dietary components, such as amino acids and specific feed additives like Spirulina platensis, on the growth, immune function, and overall performance of broiler chickens and turkeys. This work has explored how nutrient levels and their interactions influence physiological processes, including weight gain, carcass yield, and humoral and cell-mediated immune responses.
Further studies have delved into the roles of specific nutrients and compounds, such as betaine and zinc, investigating their osmoregulatory functions and involvement in immunity. Research has also addressed the impact of nutrient delivery methods, like amino acid injection in broiler breeder eggs, on embryonic development and hatchability. Kidd's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 37, over 104 publications, and more than 4,183 citations. Collaborations include work with Clay J. Maynard, J.Z. Hiltz, B.W. Parsons, and S.C. Wells, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
