OverviewAI-generated summary

C.R. Looney's research focuses on animal reproductive physiology and nutrition, particularly within beef cattle production systems. Looney has published work investigating factors that influence conception rates in beef heifers and cows, including the use of sex-sorted semen and various artificial insemination protocols. This work involves evaluating the efficacy of hormonal synchronization treatments, such as CO-Synch + CIDR, and their impact on pregnancy rates.

Further research explores the influence of nutritional supplementation on reproductive outcomes. Studies have examined the effects of trace mineral supplementation, both organic and inorganic forms, on pregnancy rates and calf performance. Additionally, Looney's work has investigated the impact of dietary components, like endophyte-infected tall fescue, on physiological parameters in pregnant cows, including hemodynamic assessments of uterine and coccygeal arteries, and the potential benefits of melatonin supplementation.

Looney's laboratory also engages in the establishment and functional characterization of bovine endometrial epithelial organoids, a model system for studying uterine health and function. Collaborations include Jeremy G Powell, Brittni P Littlejohn, E. B. Kegley, and Ken Coffey, all at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom Looney has co-authored multiple publications. Looney holds an h-index of 23, with over 115 publications and 3,030 citations.
