Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

His scientific interests lie mostly in Dairy cattle, Rumen, Animal science, Beet pulp and Biotechnology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Milk production, Respiration rate and Reproduction. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Rumen, narrowing it down to issues related to the Digestion, and often Forage.

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Botany and Animal science. His Beet pulp research integrates issues from Hay, Mathematical model, Prediction bias and By-product. The By-product study combines topics in areas such as Pulp, Dry matter, Nutrient and Toxicology.

His most cited work include:

  • Evaluation of mathematical models to describe neutral detergent residue in terms of its susceptibility to degradation in the rumen. (185 citations)
  • Influence of processed corn grain in diets of dairy cows on digestion of nutrients and milk composition. (106 citations)
  • Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Dairy Cows and Their Waste as Measured by Proton-Transfer-Reaction Mass Spectrometry (103 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Animal science, Dairy cattle, Food science, Rumen and Urine. The Milk production research James G. Fadel does as part of his general Animal science study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Heat index, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His Dairy cattle study also includes fields such as

  • Dry matter, which have a strong connection to By-product,

  • Dairy cattle (23.47%)

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

James G. Fadel mainly focuses on Animal science, Rumen, Dairy cattle, Nutrient and Methanogenesis. His study in Animal science focuses on Herd in particular. His Rumen study results in a more complete grasp of Food science.

His studies in Dairy cattle integrate themes in fields like Milk protein, Excretion and Milk production. His research in Nutrient intersects with topics in Body weight, Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus. James G. Fadel interconnects Fermentation, Biochemistry, Propionate and Microbial metabolism in the investigation of issues within Methanogenesis.

Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Thermodynamic Driving Force of Hydrogen on Rumen Microbial Metabolism: A Theoretical Investigation. (40 citations)
  • Effects of feeding rate on growth performance and nutrient partitioning of young‐of‐the‐year white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) (20 citations)
  • Effect of calving interval and parity on milk yield per feeding day in Danish commercial dairy herds (17 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Ecology
  • Statistics

James G. Fadel spends much of his time researching Animal science, Ice calving, Herd, Yield and Dairy herds. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Body weight, Endocrinology, Weight gain and Sturgeon, Acipenser transmontanus. James G. Fadel incorporates Herd and Birth rate in his studies.

Yield is integrated with Fermentation, Microbial metabolism, Inorganic chemistry, Reaction rate and Biochemistry in his study. His research in Fermentation is mostly focused on Rumen. His Dairy herds research integrates issues from Parity and Lactation, Calving interval, Milk yield.
