Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

R.L. Drysdale's research focuses on animal nutrition and physiology, with a particular emphasis on nutrient digestibility and bioavailability in poultry. Investigations include the determination of calcium digestibility and bioavailability across various limestone sources in commercial broiler and crossbred chickens. Further studies evaluate the metabolizable and bioavailable energy of soybean gums and soap stocks in different feeding regimens of roosters and broiler chickens. Additionally, research examines the impact of limestones varying in calcium solubility on egg production performance and total tract calcium retention in laying hens. Drysdale also investigates the relative calcium bioavailability based on bone ash and apparent ileal Ca digestibility in broiler chickens. Collaborations include B.W. Parsons, S.C. Wells, M.T. Kidd, and L.S. Parisi, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
