Monique Ooms

Monique Ooms is an Education/Research Officer in Adaptation Physiology, focusing on poultry science and developmental biology. Her work primarily investigates factors affecting embryogenesis, hatching dynamics, and chick quality in broiler chickens and laying hens.

• Key Research Areas: Embryonic development, thermogenesis, incubation optimization, poultry nutrition, and environmental influences on hatchability.
• Collaborations: Frequently works with researchers like H. van den Brand, M.J.W. Heetkamp, and B. Kemp.

Scientific Contributions: Her publications highlight interactions between genetic factors (rooster lines) and environmental conditions (temperature, CO₂) during incubation. Recent studies explore trace mineral supplementation and eggshell translucency in broiler breeders.
