Overview

A. Bannink is affiliated with Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands, where their work focuses primarily on agricultural and biological sciences. Their research encompasses multiple subfields including agronomy and crop science, ecology, animal science and zoology, genetics, and small animals. The main topics addressed in their publications highlight ruminant nutrition and digestive physiology, agriculture sustainability and environmental impact, reproductive physiology in livestock, as well as genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock. Additional themes include the effects of environmental stressors on livestock, odor and emission control technologies, and animal nutrition and physiology.

Bannink has contributed extensively to the scientific literature, appearing frequently in several key publication venues. These include the Journal of Dairy Science, Animal - Science Proceedings, Animal, The Science of The Total Environment, and the Journal of Cleaner Production.

Their recent papers include:

  • Full adoption of the most effective strategies to mitigate methane emissions by ruminants can help meet the 1.5 °C target by 2030 but not 2050 (2022), Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
  • A meta-analysis of effects of 3-nitrooxypropanol on methane production, yield, and intensity in dairy cattle (2022), Journal of Dairy Science
  • Enteric methane mitigation strategies for ruminant livestock systems in the Latin America and Caribbean region: A meta-analysis (2021), Journal of Cleaner Production
  • Methane mitigation potential of 3-nitrooxypropanol in lactating cows is influenced by basal diet composition (2022), Journal of Dairy Science
  • 3-Nitrooxypropanol decreases methane emissions and increases hydrogen emissions of early lactation dairy cows, with associated changes in nutrient digestibility and energy metabolism (2020), Journal of Dairy Science

Bannink collaborates frequently with several researchers, with the most common co-authors including J. Dijkstra, Sanne van Gastelen, E. Kebreab, A.N. Hristov, and David R. Yáñez-Ruíz.
