Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Endocrinology
  • Internal medicine

Eric S. Vanzant spends much of his time researching Agronomy, Forage, Beef cattle, Grazing and Fodder. Eric S. Vanzant interconnects Rumen and Animal science in the investigation of issues within Agronomy. His Animal science study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Digestion.

In his study, Dry matter, Crop, Neutral Detergent Fiber and Animal feed is inextricably linked to Hay, which falls within the broad field of Forage. The various areas that he examines in his Beef cattle study include Silage and Internal medicine. Eric S. Vanzant has researched Fodder in several fields, including Stocking rate and Pasture.

His most cited work include:

  • Interrelationships among Forage Nutritive Value and Quantity and Individual Animal Performance (60 citations)

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

Animal science, Forage, In vitro, Endophyte and Production are his primary areas of study. His work on Monensin, Beef cattle and Crossbreed as part of general Animal science study is frequently linked to Temperament and Animal activity, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Monensin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Silage, Feed conversion ratio and NEFA.

Eric S. Vanzant has included themes like Coefficient of variation, Grazing and Growing cattle in his Beef cattle study. His Forage study improves the overall literature in Agronomy. His studies in In vitro integrate themes in fields like Physiological significance, Fermentation, Pharmacology and Anatomy.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Relationship between quantitative measures of temperament and other observed behaviors in growing cattle (8 citations)
  • Pathways regulating equine skeletal muscle protein synthesis respond in a dose-dependent manner to graded levels of protein intake. (1 citations)
  • Animal Methods for Evaluating Forage Quality (1 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Botany
  • Amino acid

His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Endocrinology, Insulin, Internal medicine and Milk yield. His Animal science research is mostly focused on the topic Beef cattle. In the field of Endocrinology, his study on Postprandial, Anabolism and Skeletal muscle overlaps with subjects such as G protein and Ribosomal protein s6.

His Insulin research incorporates elements of Leucine and Methionine. His Internal medicine research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Amino acid and Valine. Eric S. Vanzant integrates many fields, such as Milk yield and engineering, in his works.
