A lab that investigates heat stress in chickens through amino acids and neuropeptides.

The Animal Nutritional Physiology Lab studies heat stress in chickens, a major threat to the poultry industry. The lab has identified physiological and metabolic indicators related to heat stress, and has found amino acids that play a role in body temperature regulation, including L-citrulline, L-leucine, and taurine. In addition to amino acids, the lab also focuses on neuropeptide Y and related peptides, which regulate stress and immune function.
