What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Animal welfare, Veterinary medicine, Developmental psychology and Animal-assisted therapy.
His work on Litter as part of general Animal science research is often related to Straw, Lying, Social behaviour and Gerbil, thus linking different fields of science.
His Animal welfare research includes themes of Herd, Social psychology and Public economics.
His study looks at the relationship between Veterinary medicine and fields such as Feather pecking, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.
His Developmental psychology research incorporates elements of Big Five personality traits and Personality.
His studies deal with areas such as Aggression and HUBzero as well as Animal-assisted therapy.

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Björn Forkman spends much of his time researching Animal science, Animal welfare, Danish, Public economics and Straw.
His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Production system and Risk factor.
His Animal welfare study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Biotechnology and Identification.
His work in the fields of Public economics, such as Animal Welfare and Animal welfare science, overlaps with other areas such as Benchmarking and Legislation.
He interconnects Simple and Transparency in the investigation of issues within Animal Welfare.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Dairy cattle, Controlled studies and Clinical variables in addition to Herd.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Early intervention with enrichment can prevent tail biting outbreaks in weaner pigs (17 citations)
- Aggregating animal welfare indicators: can it be done in a transparent and ethically robust way? (16 citations)
- The Relationship between Animal Welfare and Economic Performance at Farm Level: A Quantitative Study of Danish Pig Producers (16 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Internal medicine
- Ecology
- Social psychology
Björn Forkman mainly focuses on Animal science, Danish, Straw, Public economics and Herd.
His work carried out in the field of Animal science brings together such families of science as Leg muscle and Production system.
Danish overlaps with fields such as Nuisance, Questionnaire study, Popularity, Geography and Roaming in his research.
His work in Straw incorporates the disciplines of Cage, Production cost, Weaner pigs, Outbreak and Cause blockage.
His Animal Welfare and Animal welfare science study, which is part of a larger body of work in Public economics, is frequently linked to Aggregate, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His research integrates issues of Dairy heifer, Logistic regression, Diarrhea and Confidence interval in his study of Herd.
