Overview

Gilles Renand is affiliated with the University of Paris-Saclay in France and has a research focus primarily in Agricultural and Biological Sciences as well as Biochemistry, Genetics, and Molecular Biology. Their work spans various subfields such as Genetics, Animal Science and Zoology, Agronomy and Crop Science, Ecology, and Insect Science. The scientist's research topics include genetic and phenotypic traits in livestock, ruminant nutrition and digestive physiology, effects of environmental stressors on livestock, genetic mapping and diversity in plants and animals, agriculture sustainability and environmental impact, reproductive physiology in livestock, and meat and animal product quality.

Renand has contributed to a number of recent scientific papers that explore different aspects of livestock genetics and nutrition. Notable papers include:

  • Determination of immunoglobulin concentrations and genetic parameters for colostrum and calf serum in Charolais animals, 2021, Journal of Dairy Science
  • Common and diet-specific metabolic pathways underlying residual feed intake in fattening Charolais yearling bulls, 2021, Scientific Reports
  • Gene networks for three feed efficiency criteria reveal shared and specific biological processes, 2020, Genetics Selection Evolution
  • Detection of selection signatures in Limousin cattle using whole-genome resequencing, 2020, Animal Genetics
  • Plasma proteins δ15N vs plasma urea as candidate biomarkers of between-animal variations of feed efficiency in beef cattle: Phenotypic and genetic evaluation, 2021, animal

Their frequent co-authors include Gonzalo Cantalapiedra-Hijar, Pauline Martin, Sébastien Taussat, Aurélie Vinet, and Cécile Martin, illustrating a collaborative approach in their research projects.

Renand has published extensively in journals such as INRAE productions animales, animal, Journal of Animal Science, Livestock Science, and the Journal of Dairy Science. Among these, INRAE productions animales is the most frequent venue, with four publications.

The diversity of Renand's research topics and publication history reflects an extensive engagement with understanding genetic factors and biological processes that influence livestock productivity, health, and sustainability in agricultural systems.
