Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Gene
  • Genetics

Her primary scientific interests are in Dairy cattle, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Genetics, Animal science and Fertility. Her research integrates issues of Veterinary medicine, Biotechnology, Residual feed intake and Heritability in her study of Dairy cattle. Her Single-nucleotide polymorphism research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Quantitative trait locus, Genetic architecture and Allele.

In her research on the topic of Allele, Genetic gain is strongly related with Inbreeding. Her work carried out in the field of Animal science brings together such families of science as Animal husbandry, Feed conversion ratio, Lactation and Genetic correlation. She interconnects Milk fever, Ice calving, Analysis of variance, Genetic merit and Nutrient in the investigation of issues within Fertility.

Her most cited work include:

  • Fertility in the high-producing dairy cow ☆ (371 citations)
