Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Biochemistry

André J.A. Aarnink spends much of his time researching Animal science, Ammonia emission, Ammonia, Manure and Urine. His Animal science study incorporates themes from Humidity, Relative humidity and Respiration. His research in Ammonia emission intersects with topics in Slurry pit, Environmental engineering, Protein content and Pollution.

His work on Ammonia is being expanded to include thematically relevant topics such as Food science. His Manure study combines topics in areas such as Waste management and Biotechnology. His work carried out in the field of Urine brings together such families of science as Slurry, Sugar beet and Excretion.

His most cited work include:

  • Airborne particulate matter from livestock production systems: a review of an air pollution problem. (209 citations)
  • Dietary protein affects nitrogen excretion and ammonia emission from slurry of growing-finishing pigs. (206 citations)
  • Dietary carbohydrates alter the fecal composition and pH and the ammonia emission from slurry of growing pigs. (169 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Animal science, Environmental engineering, Manure, Ammonia emission and Ammonia. His Animal science research incorporates elements of Urine and Relative humidity. His Environmental engineering research integrates issues from Waste management, Livestock, Particulates and Ventilation.

His study in the fields of Manure management under the domain of Manure overlaps with other disciplines such as Composition. André J.A. Aarnink interconnects Slurry pit and Straw in the investigation of issues within Ammonia emission. His study looks at the relationship between Ammonia and fields such as Slurry, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (35.71%)
  • Environmental engineering (33.16%)
  • Manure (19.39%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Animal science (35.71%)
  • Environmental engineering (33.16%)
  • Particulates (12.76%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

André J.A. Aarnink mainly investigates Animal science, Environmental engineering, Particulates, Ammonia emission and Broiler. His research brings together the fields of Straw and Animal science. His research investigates the link between Environmental engineering and topics such as Forestry that cross with problems in Floor type.

His Particulates research incorporates elements of Air pollution and Laying. His Ammonia emission study results in a more complete grasp of Ammonia. The concepts of his Broiler study are interwoven with issues in Ventilation, Relative humidity and Aerosol.

Between 2013 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Airborne Microorganisms From Livestock Production Systems and Their Relation to Dust (42 citations)
  • Emissions of particulate matter from animal houses in the Netherlands (31 citations)
  • Comparison between light scattering and gravimetric samplers for PM10 mass concentration in poultry and pig houses (14 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Agriculture
  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide

André J.A. Aarnink focuses on Animal science, Particulates, Environmental engineering, Microorganism and Broiler. His work on Litter as part of general Animal science study is frequently linked to Lying, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Particulates study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Laying, Organic fertilizer and Manure.

Environmental engineering and Airborne transmission are two areas of study in which André J.A. Aarnink engages in interdisciplinary research. His Broiler research integrates issues from Ventilation and Relative humidity. André J.A. Aarnink combines subjects such as Geometric mean, Dairy cattle, Livestock and Air pollution with his study of Ventilation.
