Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Botany
  • Genetics
  • Animal science

Joan M. Burke mainly focuses on Feces, Haemonchus contortus, Hay, Lespedeza cuneata and Lespedeza. Her Feces research integrates issues from Anthelmintic and Animal science. In most of her Animal science studies, her work intersects topics such as Pasture.

In the subject of general Haemonchus contortus, her work in FAMACHA is often linked to Soybean meal, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Joan M. Burke focuses mostly in the field of Hay, narrowing it down to topics relating to Forage and, in certain cases, Cynodon. Joan M. Burke has researched Lespedeza cuneata in several fields, including Coccidia, Meal, Eimeria, Eggs per gram and Coccidiosis.

Her most cited work include:

  • Validation of the FAMACHA eye color chart for detecting clinical anemia in sheep and goats on farms in the southern United States. (256 citations)
  • Sericea lespedeza hay as a natural deworming agent against gastrointestinal nematode infection in goats. (141 citations)
  • Prevalence of anthelmintic resistance on sheep and goat farms in the southeastern United States. (132 citations)

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

Joan M. Burke spends much of her time researching Animal science, Feces, Haemonchus contortus, Lespedeza and Lespedeza cuneata. Her Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Forage and Grazing. Her Feces research incorporates elements of Helminths, Eimeria and Anthelmintic.

Her FAMACHA study, which is part of a larger body of work in Haemonchus contortus, is frequently linked to Soybean meal, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her research in FAMACHA intersects with topics in Animal husbandry and Anemia. Her study on Lespedeza also encompasses disciplines like

  • Hay and related Cynodon dactylon,
  • Meal that intertwine with fields like Larva.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (53.77%)
  • Feces (44.34%)
  • Haemonchus contortus (33.02%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Animal science (53.77%)
  • Agronomy (19.81%)
  • Lespedeza (27.36%)

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

Her main research concerns Animal science, Agronomy, Lespedeza, Forage and Gastrointestinal nematode. Her Animal science study combines topics in areas such as Endophyte, Feces, Semen extender, Sperm and Grazing. Her Feces study focuses on Nematode egg in particular.

When carried out as part of a general Agronomy research project, her work on Pasture is frequently linked to work in Pollinator, Halictidae and Relative species abundance, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. She combines subjects such as Shrub, Legume, Horticulture and Lespedeza cuneata with her study of Lespedeza. Joan M. Burke interconnects Growing season, Dry matter, Crop and Weed in the investigation of issues within Forage.
