Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Genetics
  • Gene
  • Endocrinology

His main research concerns Animal science, Body weight, Antibody response, Sexual maturity and White. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Yolk and Incubation. His Body weight research incorporates elements of Thermoregulation and Lipase.

In most of his Antibody response studies, his work intersects topics such as Antibody titer. His study looks at the relationship between Sexual maturity and fields such as Quail, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. The White study combines topics in areas such as Low body weight, Feather and Auditory canal.

His most cited work include:

  • Long-Term Divergent Selection for Eight-Week Body Weight in White Plymouth Rock Chickens (203 citations)

E. A. Dunnington focuses on Animal science, Antibody, Antibody response, Inoculation and Antigen. His Animal science research incorporates themes from Body weight and Quail. His Body weight research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Yolk sac, Anatomy, Bursa of Fabricius, Genetic variation and White.

His Antibody study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Immune system, Major histocompatibility complex and Virology. His Antibody response study which covers Sheep red blood cell that intersects with Lymphocyte. His research investigates the link between Antigen and topics such as Endocrinology that cross with problems in Spleen.

Between 1995 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Long-Term Divergent Selection for Eight-Week Body Weight in White Plymouth Rock Chickens (203 citations)
  • Aspects of food intake restriction in young domestic fowl: metabolic and genetic considerations (50 citations)
  • Responses of meat-type chickens to choice feeding of diets differing in protein and energy from hatch to market weight (48 citations)

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

  • Genetics
  • Gene
  • Endocrinology

His primary areas of study are Genetics, White, Body weight, Animal science and Haplotype. He interconnects Genetic distance, Antibody response, Feather and Auditory canal in the investigation of issues within White. His study on Abdominal fat is often connected to Regression analysis as part of broader study in Body weight.

He works in the field of Animal science, focusing on Broiler in particular. His Haplotype research includes themes of Red blood cell, Virology, Immunogenetics, Antibody and Major histocompatibility complex. E. A.
