The Poultry Nutrition Research Award was presented to
Korver during a ceremony in Niagara Falls, Ontario, on July 23. The award
is sponsored by the American Feed Industry Association, as part of its
continuing awards program that dates to 1948.
Bone metabolism
Korver’s other main area of research addresses avian bone metabolism. His research group has validated the use of quantitative computed tomography to measure distribution of bone mineral among various bone types in poultry. Assessing bone mineral density in live birds allows for a more efficient use of experimental birds than traditional methods. It also allows bone mineralization in individual birds to be followed through the various stages of production.
