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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Animal science, Lameness, Pasture based, Welfare and Ice calving. Within one scientific family, Eddie A.M. Bokkers focuses on topics pertaining to Pasture under Animal science, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Grazing. The Lameness study combines topics in areas such as Litter, Dry matter and Body condition.

His studies deal with areas such as Hoof, Claw and Walking distance as well as Pasture based. His Welfare research includes elements of Dairy calf and Fish species. The Gait study which covers Statistics that intersects with Body weight.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Automated body weight prediction of dairy cows using 3-dimensional vision. (28 citations)

  • Estimating the economic impact of subclinical ketosis in dairy cattle using a dynamic stochastic simulation model. (21 citations)

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

  • Ecology
  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Animal science, Culling, Welfare, Weaning and Animal welfare. His Animal science research focuses on Digital dermatitis and Herd. His work carried out in the field of Culling brings together such families of science as Life-cycle assessment, Mastitis and Greenhouse gas.

Welfare is closely attributed to Operations management in his research. His work deals with themes such as Mortality rate, Colostrum, Passive immunity, Breed and Hygiene, which intersect with Weaning. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Animal welfare, Aggression and Social relation is strongly linked to Feeding patterns.
