New pub on chicken gut microbiota

New pub on chicken gut microbiota

Our latest article on chicken gut microbiota was published in the journal Animals. In this work, we assessed if and how dietary protein ingredients (soybean-based or cottonseed based) interacted with the housing environment – caged or cage-free in chicken, in generating the gut microbiota communities. We report that the housing environment had a profound impact on the gut microbiota. Read more about it here: The role of housing environment and dietary protein source on the gut microbiota of chicken

New paper from collaborative research

New paper from collaborative research

Pleased with the publication of a new paper by TAMU Animal Science student Jennifer Riser, to which my lab contributed through Salmonella testing using PCR methods. Kudos for former postdoc Dr. Charlotte Hieke who performed the work. Check out the new pub here.

New paper on Red Junglefowl Genetics

New paper on Red Junglefowl Genetics

Our first paper on Red Junglefowl captive population genetics has been published in the Journal PeerJ. This resulted from great work by former postdoc Charlotte Hieke and undergraduate researcher Nikolas Faust. Check it out here: Effective Population Sizes and Adaptive Genetic Variation in a Captive Bird Population.

Undergrad research paper preprint

Our manuscript looking at genetic diversity and effective population sizes in a captive Red Junglefowl population is now published as a preprint while it is under peer review. Kudos to undergrad researcher Nic Faust who worked on generating some of the data in this manuscript.
