OverviewAI-generated summary

Ruvindu Perera's research focuses on improving broiler chicken health, specifically investigating methods to reduce lameness caused by bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). Perera has explored the effectiveness of various interventions, including dietary timing of organic trace minerals and the use of probiotics like PoultryStar®Bro. Studies have evaluated the impact of probiotic and multivalent vaccination strategies in hybrid challenge models and assessed the effects of spray-applied probiotics and feed additives on BCO incidence.

Furthermore, Perera has investigated the application of electron beam (eBeam) technology for developing inactivated vaccines. Research includes leveraging eBeam technology for advancing inactivated vaccine development and assessing the efficacy of eBeam-killed Staphylococcus vaccines in reducing lameness. Perera's work also touches upon the preliminary investigation of cecal microbiota in experimental broilers reared under lameness induction models. Perera has collaborated with multiple researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville on these projects.
