OverviewAI-generated summary
Rosemary H. Whittle's research investigates avian behavior and welfare, with a particular focus on chickens in commercial farming settings. Her work explores the impact of various factors on poultry health and performance, including diet, genetics, and environmental conditions. She has examined the effects of flaxseed supplementation on broiler and layer breeders, assessing its influence on body weight, reproductive outcomes, and hatchability. Additionally, Whittle has studied how genetic strain, stocking density, and age affect broiler behavior, and the impact of different light wavelengths on broiler performance, stress levels, and physical development.
Her research also delves into the psychological and physiological responses of chickens. This includes investigating judgment bias, fear, and stress responses in different chicken breeds. Collaborating with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, Whittle has co-authored multiple publications in these areas. Her work contributes to a broader understanding of animal husbandry and welfare, drawing on her background in zoology and psychology.
