Rate My Professor Sonia Liu

Liu's research interests center on reduced protein diets, digestive dynamics of nutrients, exogenous enzyme applications, and feed grain quality in broiler chickens. She has authored over 117 publications, with key works including 'A consideration of starch and protein digestive dynamics in chickenmeat production' (2015, World's Poultry Science Journal, cited 93 times), 'The Dynamic Conversion of Dietary Protein and Amino Acids into Salable Meat Protein of Broiler Chickens' (2021, cited 55 times), 'Dietary crude protein reductions in wheat-based diets with multicarbohydrase and phytase supplementation' (2023), and 'The impact of canola meal and enzyme supplementation on growth performance and nutrient utilization in broiler chickens' (2026). Her research has accumulated more than 2,260 citations on ResearchGate. Major awards and fellowships include the Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Researcher Award (DECRA), the first awarded in Agriculture at the University of Sydney; ARC Linkage Project funding worth over $1 million (2023); ARC Early Career Industry Fellowship (2024); Australia Award Endeavour Research Fellowship (2018); and the 2015 Australian Department of Agriculture, Science and Innovation Award for Young People. Liu contributes to teaching in animal health, disease, and welfare programs and engages in professional leadership within poultry science associations.
