- Accurately described the nutrient profile through a proximate analysis and an estimation of metabolizable energy
- Played an active role in an experiment between two pens with three chicks and examined the effects of feeding one pen a sufficient diet and the other a methionine deficient diet
- Spent weeks prior to the experiment researching methionine diets and gathering estimated outcomes
- Reasoned and postulated the effect of the methionine deficient feed on the chicks feather growth
- Received one pen of twenty one chicks to feed, check on and take care of during a twenty one day period, created a starter and broiler diet feed for these chicks at the West Virginia University Animal Science farm with their nutritional needs in mind
- Visited the pen multiple times a week to ensure they were fed and doing well
- Carefully weighed out the feed and chick pen to see how much weight was gained in the weeks of the study
- Calculations were then done to find the live weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and feed intake of the pen
- Injected two breeds of sheep with lipopolysaccharide and analyzed each breed-unique reaction
- Efficiently took blood samples and temperatures from the two breeds hourly to help support our hypothesis
- Worked hard and diligently with a group of peers to present & confirm our conclusion
