Dr. Alissa Moritz grew up in New Jersey and received her B.S. degree in Animal Biosciences from the University of Delaware. Her interest in poultry science grew during her undergraduate studies while gaining research experience with avian diseases and emergency disease response methods. Dr. Moritz recently completed her Ph.D. in Poultry Nutrition from Clemson University. Her doctoral research focused on evaluating tannin-free grain sorghum as an alternative feed ingredient and its implications on broilers and quail’s performance and intestinal health. She enjoys anything involving the great outdoors in her free time, from kayaking to hiking to training for half marathons. She and her 14-year-old cat, Freckles, currently reside in Maryland and are happy to call the beach home again!
