Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Animal science
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Broiler, Feed conversion ratio, AMMONIA EXPOSURE and Environmental temperature. His studies deal with areas such as Body weight and Calorie as well as Animal science. The Body weight study combines topics in areas such as Choline, Choline chloride and Abdomen.

His work carried out in the field of Broiler brings together such families of science as Acclimatization and Hatching. His Hatching research integrates issues from Broiler chick, Litter and Veterinary medicine. J. W. Deaton frequently studies issues relating to Food science and Feed conversion ratio.

His most cited work include:

  • Ammonia in the Atmosphere during Brooding Affects Performance of Broiler Chickens (101 citations)
  • Effect of Age of Parents and Hatching Egg Weight on Broiler Chick Mortality (96 citations)
  • Body Composition of Chicks as Influenced by Environmental Temperature and Selected Dietary Factors (88 citations)

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

Animal science, Broiler, Body weight, Feed conversion ratio and Environmental temperature are his primary areas of study. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ammonia and Animal fat. The study incorporates disciplines such as Dietary fat and Heat prostration in addition to Animal fat.

His Broiler research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Broiler chick, Veterinary medicine, Flock, Acclimatization and Hatching. His Body weight research includes themes of Anatomy, Gizzard and Animal feed. His work in Gizzard addresses issues such as Basal, which are connected to fields such as Gastroenterology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (67.50%)
  • Broiler (58.75%)
  • Body weight (46.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1983-1989)?

  • Animal science (67.50%)
  • Broiler (58.75%)
  • Body weight (46.25%)

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

His main research concerns Animal science, Broiler, Body weight, Gizzard and Environmental temperature. The concepts of his Animal science study are interwoven with issues in Environmental chemistry, Acclimatization and AMMONIA EXPOSURE. His work on Pellet expands to the thematically related Broiler.

His Feed conversion ratio and Abdominal fat study in the realm of Body weight interacts with subjects such as Trimming and Pellets. His studies in Abdominal fat integrate themes in fields like Fat content and Deposition. His study in Gizzard is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Gastroenterology, Internal medicine, Basal and Anatomy.

Between 1983 and 1989, his most popular works were:

  • Body Temperature of Acclimated Broilers During Exposure to High Temperature (75 citations)
  • Effect of Atmospheric Ammonia on Pullets at Point of Lay (49 citations)
  • Effect of Environmental Temperature and Feeding Regimen on Quantity of Digestive Tract Contents of Broilers (36 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry
  • Endocrinology

J. W. Deaton mostly deals with Animal science, Broiler, Acclimatization, Abdominal fat and Body weight. His Animal science research incorporates Growth rate and Environmental temperature. Many of his Growth rate research pursuits overlap with Hydrogen compounds, Ammonia, Environmental chemistry and AMMONIA EXPOSURE.

Environmental temperature is intertwined with Meal, Proventriculus, Small intestine, Crop and Gizzard in his study. He regularly ties together related areas like Feeding Regimen in his Meal studies.
