Dr. Jason Emmert received a B.S. degree in
Agricultural Sciences from the University of Illinois in 1992. He
received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Nutritional Sciences from the
University of Illinois in 1994 and 1997, respectively. Dr. Emmert
joined the faculty at the University of Arkansas in 1997 as the
Undergraduate Curriculum Coordinator for the Department of Poultry
Science. In 2003, Dr. Emmert was inducted into the University of
Arkansas Teaching Academy.
Dr. Emmert's responsibilities include teaching Introduction
to Poultry Careers, Broiler and Turkey Production and Breeder and Layer Management.
In October 2004, Dr. Emmert was named the Poultry Federation's Endowed Chair
in Poultry Science. In 2002, Dr. Emmert received the Purina Mills Teaching Award
from the Poultry Science Association. In 2001, Dr. Emmert received the Gamma
Sigma Delta Teaching Award. He also teaches Poultry Judging and Selection and
coaches the University of Arkansas Poultry Judging Team, which won the National
Collegiate Poultry Judging contest in 1999 and in 2005.
Dr. Emmert works closely with Poultry Science undergraduates as
co-advisor to the Poultry Science Club and as scholarship coordinator
for the Department of Poultry Science. His research interests include
sulfur amino acid metabolism, the impact of nutrition on the
environment and the efficacy of phase-feeding for broilers. Invited
presentations have included topics related to methyl group metabolism
in poultry and the use of phase-feeding in broiler diet formulation.
