Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Nicholas B. Anthony's research focuses on poultry science, with a particular emphasis on genetic selection, health, and physiology in broiler chickens and Japanese quail. His work investigates the impacts of environmental stressors, such as heat stress and hypoxia, on avian health and productivity. He studies the genetic basis of disease resistance, including ascites and woody breast myopathy, and explores the role of the gut microbiome in host-microbe interactions and overall health.

Dr. Anthony's publications examine the evolution of breeding practices, the expression of nutrient transporters under stress, and the identification of blood plasma biomarkers for disease. He also explores the use of Japanese quail as a model organism for studying microbial endocrinology and host-microbe relationships. His research network includes collaborations with other faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Sara Orlowski, Sami Dridi, Douglas D. Rhoads, and Travis Tabler.

With an h-index of 26 and over 2,800 citations from 120 publications, Dr. Anthony is recognized as a highly cited researcher. His active lab website provides further information on his ongoing research endeavors.
