What is he best known for?
The fields of study Floyd K. Mckeith is best known for:
- Feed conversion ratio
- Beef cattle
- Gene
Floyd K. Mckeith works mostly in the field of Starter, limiting it down to topics relating to Food science and, in certain cases, Palatability, as a part of the same area of interest.
As part of his studies on Palatability, he often connects relevant subjects like Food science.
Floyd K. Mckeith usually deals with Beef cattle and limits it to topics linked to Animal science and Longissimus muscle, Loin, Ractopamine, Longissimus, Crossbreed, Lean meat and Longissimus dorsi.
Much of his study explores Lean meat relationship to Animal science.
His Carcass weight research extends to the thematically linked field of Endocrinology.
His Carcass weight study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Endocrinology.
His Weight gain research extends to the thematically linked field of Body weight.
Weight gain is frequently linked to Body weight in his study.
His Composition (language) study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Linguistics.
His most cited work include:
- Variation in Composition and Palatability Traits and Relationships between Muscle Characteristics and Palatability in a Random Sample of Pork Carcasses (292 citations)
- Growth and body composition of dairy calves fed milk replacers containing different amounts of protein at two feeding rates1 (184 citations)
- Effect of the β-Adrenergic Agonist Cimaterol (CL 263,780) on the Growth and Carcass Characteristics of Finishing Swine (137 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date
His research in Beef cattle focuses on subjects like Animal science, which are connected to Crossbreed, Loin, Marbled meat, Longissimus muscle, Longissimus dorsi, Feedlot, Breed, Longissimus, Weaning, Intramuscular fat and Tenderness.
Crossbreed is closely attributed to Genetics in his work.
Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Testosterone (patch) and Genetics.
His research combines Internal medicine and Testosterone (patch).
His Internal medicine study frequently links to related topics such as Feed conversion ratio.
Weaning is frequently linked to Endocrinology in his study.
The study of Endocrinology is intertwined with the study of Weight gain in a number of ways.
When carried out as part of a general Tenderness research project, his work on Animal science is frequently linked to work in Loin, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
Floyd K. Mckeith is doing genetic studies as part of his Carcass weight, Weight gain and Feed conversion ratio and Body weight investigations.
Floyd K. Mckeith most often published in these fields:
- Animal science (89.66%)
- Endocrinology (55.17%)
- Body weight (48.28%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2013)?
- Loin (100.00%)
- Animal science (100.00%)
- Body weight (50.00%)
In recent works Floyd K. Mckeith was focusing on the following fields of study:
Animal science connects with themes related to Ractopamine in his study.
His study connects Animal science and Ractopamine.
His Carcass weight research extends to Body weight, which is thematically connected.
Carcass weight is closely attributed to Endocrinology in his study.
Much of his study explores Endocrinology relationship to Weight gain.
His study on Weight gain is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Body weight.
His study connects Meat tenderness and Tenderness.
Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Tenderness and Meat tenderness.
Floyd K. Mckeith combines Beef cattle and Feedlot in his studies.
Between 2008 and 2013, his most popular works were:
- Effect of ractopamine hydrochloride (Optaflexx) dose on live animal performance, carcass characteristics and tenderness in early weaned beef steers (54 citations)
- Carcass fat quality of pigs is not improved by adding corn germ, beef tallow, palm kernel oil, or glycerol to finishing diets containing distillers dried grains with solubles1 (36 citations)
