Research Interests:

During 2001 the majority of my research efforts involved the use of microbial phytase in broiler diets to measure performance while reducing fecal phosphorus excretion. Also, additional efforts involved looking at organic selenium compounds in broilers diets and their effect on performance and feathering.
