# overview
Research areas include layer management, egg production and environmental stewardship.  Past efforts have focused on methionine sources and broiler excreta odor, fate of nitrogen in broiler production and nutrient buildup in broiler litter  and the role of dietary threonine on egg component yield, composition and functional qualities.
