In this episode of The Poultry Nutrition Blackbelt Podcast, Dr. Rana Waqar Tabish from Auburn University breaks down how multi-omics is being applied to practical poultry nutrition challenges. He explains how transcriptomics and microbiome data clarify gut health responses to calcium levels, limestone particle size, and fiber strategies under necrotic enteritis and coccidiosis pressure. The discussion connects molecular pathways with intestinal integrity, immune regulation, and performance outcomes in commercial broilers. Listen now on all major platforms.

"The multi-omics help explain the molecular background behind productivity changes that traditional performance data alone cannot clearly describe."

Meet the guest: Dr. Rana Waqar Tabish is a poultry researcher and veterinarian at Auburn University specializing in multi-omics, gut health, and precision nutrition in broilers. His work integrates transcriptomics and microbiome profiling to understand intestinal integrity and immune responses under enteric disease challenges.
