Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine
  • Animal science

Charles J. Sniffen focuses on Rumen, Animal science, Food science, Nitrogen and Carbohydrate. His Rumen research incorporates themes from Chromatography and Digestion. The study incorporates disciplines such as Animal feed and Carbohydrate fermentation in addition to Digestion.

His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Metritis, Ice calving and Nutrient. The Food science study combines topics in areas such as Urea and Protozoa, Microbiology. His Carbohydrate research integrates issues from Fermentation, Ammonia production, Agronomy and Body condition.

His most cited work include:

  • A net carbohydrate and protein system for evaluating cattle diets: II. Carbohydrate and protein availability. (2572 citations)
  • A net carbohydrate and protein system for evaluating cattle diets: I. Ruminal fermentation. (1016 citations)
  • Nitrogen fractions in selected feedstuffs (475 citations)

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

Charles J. Sniffen spends much of his time researching Animal science, Food science, Rumen, Lactation and Dairy cattle. His studies in Animal science integrate themes in fields like Body condition score, Nutrient and Agronomy. His Food science research incorporates elements of Milk yield and Methionine.

His Rumen study incorporates themes from Carbohydrate, Digestion, Chromatography and Nitrogen. As part of the same scientific family, he usually focuses on Chromatography, concentrating on Protein degradation and intersecting with Sulfosalicylic acid and Lipid metabolism. His work in the fields of Lactation, such as Ice calving, intersects with other areas such as Early life.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (40.52%)
  • Food science (36.21%)
  • Rumen (34.48%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2021)?

  • Animal science (40.52%)
  • Food science (36.21%)
  • Dairy cattle (18.10%)

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

Charles J. Sniffen focuses on Animal science, Food science, Dairy cattle, Lactation and Early life. His research ties Rumen and Animal science together. His work often combines Rumen and Dynamics studies.

His studies in Food science integrate themes in fields like Feed conversion ratio and Milk yield. His Dairy cattle research includes themes of Yield and Amino acid. His Forage study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Hay, Digestion and Animal feed.

Between 2008 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • CASE STUDY: Multiple-Study Analysis of the Effect of Live Yeast on Milk Yield, Milk Component Content and Yield, and Feed Efficiency (27 citations)
  • Effects of an organic source of copper, manganese and zinc on dairy cattle productive performance, health status and fertility (26 citations)
  • Estimation of the indigestible fiber in different forage types (25 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine
  • Food science

Charles J. Sniffen mainly focuses on Animal science, Neutral Detergent Fiber, Feed conversion ratio, Dry matter and Food science. His work deals with themes such as Rumen and Botany, which intersect with Animal science. His biological study deals with issues like Lactose, which deal with fields such as Silage.

His Silage research includes elements of Hay, Digestion and Forage. His research integrates issues of Barn, Zinc and Biotechnology in his study of Dry matter. Many of his studies on Food science involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Milk yield.
