Overview

Stephanie Torrey is affiliated with the University of Guelph in Canada, where their research focuses primarily on agricultural and biological sciences. Their work spans several subfields, including animal science and zoology, small animals, insect science, parasitology, and nutrition and dietetics.

Their research concentrates on key topics such as animal nutrition and physiology, livestock and poultry management, animal behavior and welfare studies, as well as studies related to rabbits' nutrition, reproduction, and health. They have also contributed to insect and pesticide research, bird parasitology and diseases, and forensic entomology and diptera studies.

Torrey has published extensively, with a significant number of articles appearing in the journal Poultry Science. Other frequent publication venues include the Journal of Animal Science, Applied Animal Behaviour Science, British Poultry Science, and bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

Some of their recent papers include:

  1. In pursuit of a better broiler: growth, efficiency, and mortality of 16 strains of broiler chickens (2020, Poultry Science)
  2. In pursuit of a better broiler: walking ability and incidence of contact dermatitis in conventional and slower growing strains of broiler chickens (2022, Poultry Science)
  3. In pursuit of a better broiler: carcass traits and muscle myopathies in conventional and slower-growing strains of broiler chickens (2021, Poultry Science)
  4. In pursuit of a better broiler: a comparison of the inactivity, behavior, and enrichment use of fast- and slower growing broiler chickens (2021, Poultry Science)
  5. Play behaviour reduced by environmental enrichment in fast-growing broiler chickens (2020, Applied Animal Behaviour Science)
