Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Biochemistry
  • Animal science
  • Food science

His main research concerns Animal science, Immunity, Weaning, Teladorsagia circumcincta and Feces. He combines subjects such as Acquired immune system and Biotechnology with his study of Immunity. In his study, Post weaning, Haemonchus contortus and Breed is strongly linked to Dietary protein, which falls under the umbrella field of Weaning.

Jos G. M. Houdijk performs multidisciplinary study in the fields of Teladorsagia circumcincta and Lactation via his papers.
