Jeffrey L. Firkins spends much of his time researching Rumen, Food science, Digestion, Dairy cattle and Neutral Detergent Fiber.
His Rumen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Dry matter, Animal science and Nutrient.
His Nutrient research includes themes of Silage, Forage and Metabolism.
His work carried out in the field of Silage brings together such families of science as Feed conversion ratio and Latin square.
His Digestion research incorporates themes from Protein degradation and Starch.
His Dairy cattle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Microbial metabolism, Defaunation, Microbiology, Biomass and Metagenomics.
His most cited work include:
- Special topics--Mitigation of methane and nitrous oxide emissions from animal operations: I. A review of enteric methane mitigation options. (448 citations)
- Development of an Assay to Quantify Rumen Ciliate Protozoal Biomass in Cows Using Real-Time PCR (252 citations)
- Effects of grain variability and processing on starch utilization by lactating dairy cattle (190 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary scientific interests are in Rumen, Food science, Animal science, Dry matter and Neutral Detergent Fiber.
His Rumen research integrates issues from Silage, Dairy cattle and Forage.
The Digestion and Tallow research Jeffrey L. Firkins does as part of his general Food science study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Unsaturated fat, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.
In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Animal science, Greenhouse gas is strongly linked to Agronomy.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Urea and Methanogenesis.
His research integrates issues of Starch and Isovalerate in his study of Neutral Detergent Fiber.
He most often published in these fields:
- Rumen (58.99%)
- Food science (43.17%)
- Animal science (32.37%)

- Gene
Jeffrey L. Firkins mainly investigates Rumen, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Bacteria and Starch.
He brings together Rumen and Microbial food web to produce work in his papers.
His Fermentation and Glycolysis study, which is part of a larger body of work in Biochemistry, is frequently linked to NAD+ kinase, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His Biotechnology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Fiber, Neutral Detergent Fiber, Forage and Animal science.
In Bacteria, Jeffrey L. Firkins works on issues like Protozoa, which are connected to Food science, Carbohydrate, Carbohydrate synthesis and Butyrate.
His Starch research incorporates elements of Dairy cattle and Dry matter.
