Research Interests

Environmental and waste management including air quality, breeder management

Extension Responsibilities

Extension responsibilities include adult education programs in Nutrient Management Planning and Agro/Bio- security seminars. Coordinator of the Deep South Poultry Conference held at the Rural Development Center, Tifton, Georgia. Involved in the preparation and judging of 4H and FFA poultry judging contests as well as contributing to programs that assist county extension personnel.

Research programs focus on environmental and waste management issues associated with the poultry industry including air quality. Also the effectiveness of induced molting in broiler breeder flocks.
