  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry
  • Statistics

His primary scientific interests are in Animal science, Sire, Tenderness, Biotechnology and Environmental management system. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Carcass weight and Nutrient. His Sire research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Breed and Eye muscle.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Loin and Heritability. His research integrates issues of Glycolysis, Phosphofructokinase and Myoglobin in his study of Biotechnology. Graham E. Gardner combines subjects such as Post weaning, Muscle weight, Internal medicine and Endocrinology with his study of Longissimus muscle.

His most cited work include:

  • Genetic parameters for meat quality traits of Australian lamb meat (84 citations)
  • Associations of sire estimated breeding values and objective meat quality measurements with sensory scores in Australian lamb. (73 citations)
  • Associations of sire estimated breeding values and objective meat quality measurements with sensory scores in Australian lamb. (73 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Animal science, Sire, Intramuscular fat, Loin and Tenderness. His Animal science study incorporates themes from Environmental management system, Anatomy, Eye muscle, Biotechnology and Carcass weight. His Sire study combines topics in areas such as Post weaning, Animal breeding, Flock, Breed and Computed tomography.

His Intramuscular fat research incorporates elements of Selection and Marbled meat. His study in the fields of Meat tenderness under the domain of Tenderness overlaps with other disciplines such as Sensory system. His research investigates the connection between Glycogen and topics such as Longissimus Thoracis that intersect with issues in Endocrinology and Internal medicine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (71.49%)

Graham E. Gardner spends much of his time researching Animal science, Intramuscular fat, Loin, Tenderness and Longissimus Lumborum. His Pre slaughter study, which is part of a larger body of work in Animal science, is frequently linked to Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, bridging the gap between disciplines. His Intramuscular fat research includes elements of Endocrinology, Eye muscle, Internal medicine and Marbled meat.

The various areas that Graham E. Gardner examines in his Loin study include Carcass weight, Flock and Sire.

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Gene

His primary areas of study are Grading, Supply chain, Animal science, Loin and Computed tomography. His Supply chain study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Value based payment, Diversification, Risk analysis and Feedlot. His research in Animal science intersects with topics in Animal husbandry, Pasture and Flock.

His work carried out in the field of Loin brings together such families of science as Increased intramuscular fat, Lightness, Yield and Sire. The Computed tomography study combines topics in areas such as Imaging phantom, Nuclear medicine and Calibration. His study looks at the relationship between Nuclear medicine and topics such as Grading, which overlap with Intramuscular fat.
