He has authored or co-authored over 75 peer-reviewed articles, and 10 book chapters. In 2016, he spent a 6-month sabbatical in Colombia, working with a major broiler integrator. He is currently part of the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine’s committee to revise and update the 1994 Nutrient Requirements of Poultry. In 2023, he started Alpine Poultry Nutrition, Inc., with a vision to communicate the science of poultry nutrition to end users in the poultry industry.
Dr. Jason Emmert
Dr. Jason Emmert received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois and began his career as a member of the faculty of the University of Arkansas Poultry Science Department. In 2008 he returned to the U of I as an Assistant Dean in Academic Programs for the College of Agricultural, Consumer, and Environmental Sciences, and in 2017 he joined the faculty of the Animal Sciences Department.

On the lookout for pathogen threats: Salmonella and E. coli in the poultry industry - Dr. Tim Johnson
“Despite our best efforts, we haven't been able to totally get rid of Salmonella and E. Coli. You can work really hard to do that, but as soon as you accomplish your goal, another threat will come right in."
Maximizing broiler performance: the importance of the physical quality of feed - Dr. Kelley Wamsley
"In general, feed quality is pretty bad in the industry, right? There's a variety of factors playing heavily against having really high feed quality".
Breaking down barriers: the use of phytase on poultry - Dr. Michael Bedford
“What's really changed is that the efficacy of the phytases along with their ability to release phosphorus and calcium have improved, so we're seeing a better release of these nutrients from phytic acid”
