Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Robert D. Goodband's research focuses on animal nutrition, with a particular emphasis on swine. His work investigates strategies to optimize nutrient intake and growth performance in pigs, especially during critical life stages such as weaning and gestation. He has published extensively on the effects of various feed additives, protein levels, and specific amino acids on pig growth, carcass characteristics, and reproductive performance.

Goodband's research also explores practical applications in the livestock industry, including surveys on the use of vitamins and trace minerals in swine diets. He has examined the impact of dietary components like coarse wheat bran and alternative protein sources on pig health and performance. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 54, with 1877 total publications and 12,608 total citations, indicating a substantial body of work in his field.

His collaborations include several researchers from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, such as H. I. Calderón, with whom he shares six publications. His work contributes to the understanding of animal nutritional physiological phenomena and livestock management.
