OverviewAI-generated summary

Sarah Shelby's research focuses on animal nutrition and physiology, particularly as it relates to livestock production and health. Her work investigates the impact of dietary components on animal growth, meat quality, and overall well-being. Recent publications explore the effects of different protein levels and forages, such as sericea lespedeza, on finishing lambs. Shelby has also examined the potential cardioprotective properties of quercetin, a plant-derived compound, in mitigating fescue toxicosis-induced cardiotoxicity in lambs, investigating its mechanisms through the heart-gut axis and modulation of detoxification pathways. Her research extends to other livestock, including a study on the growth performance and meat quality of commercial pigs compared to the Large Black Pig breed, and the influence of sow vocalization and scent on blood cell counts during weaning in pigs. Shelby collaborates with researchers from the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station, including Yan Huang, Palika Dias Morse, and Ken Coffey, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
