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.
