RESEARCH:

Dr. Moran's research focuses on Broiler Production and Carcass Quality. His primary interest is in Nutrition. His on-going research includes:
--determine the nutrient requirements for broiler production
--continually evaluate potential feedstuff as they occur
--optimize the transition of chick embryo through emergence and subsequent development
--manage, feed, and process broiler from diverse sources to improve value-added products.
