Overview

Flavio S Schenkel is affiliated with the University of Guelph in Canada. Their research spans multiple domains within biochemistry, genetics, molecular biology, agricultural and biological sciences, focusing primarily on genetics and its applications in animal science and agronomy.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the study of genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, genetic mapping and diversity in plants and animals, and reproductive physiology in livestock. Additionally, research topics include the effects of environmental stressors on livestock, ruminant nutrition and digestive physiology, cancer-related molecular mechanisms, and genetics and plant breeding.

Frequent publication venues for Schenkel include the Journal of Dairy Science, Journal of Animal Science, Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), Animals, and BMC Genomics. This distribution reflects a consistent focus on both animal science and broader biological studies.

Among recent papers, notable works include:

  • Effect of genomic selection on rate of inbreeding and coancestry and effective population size of Holstein and Jersey cattle populations, 2020, Journal of Dairy Science
  • Genomewide Association Analyses of Lactation Persistency and Milk Production Traits in Holstein Cattle Based on Imputed Whole-Genome Sequence Data, 2021, Genes
  • Breeding for reduced methane emission and feed-efficient Holstein cows: An international response, 2021, Journal of Dairy Science
  • Effect of recent and ancient inbreeding on production and fertility traits in Canadian Holsteins, 2020, BMC Genomics
  • Genetic Diversity and Signatures of Selection for Thermal Stress in Cattle and Other Two Bos Species Adapted to Divergent Climatic Conditions, 2021, Frontiers in Genetics

Schenkel often collaborates with researchers such as Christine F. Baes, F. Miglior, Hinayah Rojas de Oliveira, Luiz F. Brito, and Ángela Cánovas. These frequent coauthors suggest a strong collaborative network within the community focused on animal genetics and breeding.
