OverviewAI-generated summary

J.Z. Hiltz's research focuses on animal nutrition and physiology, particularly in broiler chickens. Recent publications investigate the impact of dietary amino acids, such as leucine, isoleucine, and valine, on the performance and carcass traits of broilers during different growth stages. Investigations also include the characterization of water intake and water conversion ratios across various commercial broiler lines. Additionally, Hiltz has explored the potential for blood plasma biomarkers in diagnosing woody breast disease in commercial broilers and the development of novel low-flow water monitoring systems for agricultural applications. Collaborations include work with Sara Orlowski, C.W. Maynard, Nicholas B. Anthony, and Travis Tabler, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
