Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Rosemary H. Whittle's research focuses on animal behavior and welfare, with a particular emphasis on poultry. Her work investigates the effects of environmental factors on chickens, including diet and light exposure, and their impact on physiological and behavioral outcomes. Whittle has examined how maternal flaxseed diets influence broiler chicken weight and health when exposed to avian reovirus and infectious bronchitis. She has also studied the effects of different light wavelengths on broiler performance, blood cell profiles, stress levels, and tibiotarsi morphology. Her research interests stem from a lifelong connection to poultry farming and a background in zoology and psychology, aiming to understand and improve the welfare of commercially farmed chickens.
