OverviewAI-generated summary

Ruvindu Perera's research focuses on mitigating lameness in broiler chickens, specifically addressing bacterial chondronecrosis with osteomyelitis (BCO). Perera investigates the effectiveness of various interventions, including dietary trace minerals, probiotics, and multivalent vaccination strategies. Studies have evaluated the impact of specific probiotic formulations, such as PoultryStar®Bro and a triple-strain Bacillus-based additive, often utilizing aerosol transmission challenge models to simulate real-world conditions. Additionally, Perera explores the application of electron beam (eBeam) technology for developing inactivated vaccines, demonstrating its potential in reducing lameness caused by Staphylococcus infections. Research also includes preliminary investigations into the cecal microbiota of broilers under experimental conditions, aiming to understand the role of gut health in lameness incidence. Perera has a publication record of 14 papers with 42 citations and an h-index of 5, collaborating with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
