Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Shawna Weimer's research examines factors influencing the health, welfare, and productivity of poultry. Her work investigates the impact of environmental enrichment and stocking densities on broiler chickens, including their carcass composition and meat quality. Weimer has studied the behavioral and immune responses of broilers to bacterial infections such as Salmonella Typhimurium and experimentally induced lameness. Additionally, her research explores nutritional interventions, such as the use of orange corn, to mitigate health issues like footpad dermatitis. Weimer also investigates the antimicrobial resistance profiles of bacteria isolated from poultry litter, contributing to understanding potential food safety concerns. She has published 56 papers, accumulating 443 citations, and holds an h-index of 11. Her collaborations include work with Sara Orlowski, Jessica Cherry, Angela Perretti, and Chaitanya Pallerla at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
