  • Influence of varying protein and starch degradabilities on performance of lactating cows. (178 citations)

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

J.T. Huber focuses on Animal science, Food science, Dairy cattle, Dry matter and Sorghum. His study in Animal science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Urea, Splanchnic, Endocrinology and Agronomy. J.T. Huber focuses mostly in the field of Food science, narrowing it down to matters related to Feed conversion ratio and, in some cases, High-protein diet.

His Dairy cattle research incorporates themes from Herd, Cow milk, Plant protein and Fatty acid. His study on Neutral Detergent Fiber is often connected to Cottonseed meal as part of broader study in Dry matter. J.T. Huber has included themes like Ruminal fermentation and Starch in his Sorghum study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (57.81%)
  • Food science (40.62%)
  • Dairy cattle (39.06%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2005)?

  • Dairy cattle (39.06%)
  • Dry matter (28.12%)
  • Animal science (57.81%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Dairy cattle, Dry matter, Animal science, Food science and Endocrinology. His Dairy cattle research includes themes of Feed conversion ratio and Distillers grains. His Feed conversion ratio research incorporates elements of Silage, Rumen, Edible Grain and Forage.

His work carried out in the field of Dry matter brings together such families of science as Cottonseed, Lactose and Cattle feeding. His Animal science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Urea, Splanchnic, Randomized block design and Metabolism. The Starch, Plant protein and Blood meal research he does as part of his general Food science study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Meat and bone meal, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science.

Between 1997 and 2005, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of rumen-undegradable protein on dairy cow performance: a 12-year literature review. (266 citations)
  • Invited Review: Summary of Steam-Flaking Corn or Sorghum Grain for Lactating Dairy Cows (169 citations)
  • Steam-processed corn and sorghum grain flaked at different densities alter ruminal, small intestinal, and total tract digestibility of starch by steers. (50 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Food science

His primary scientific interests are in Dairy cattle, Food science, Rumen, Cottonseed and Dry matter. The Dairy cattle study combines topics in areas such as Blood meal and Distillers grains. The study incorporates disciplines such as Feed conversion ratio, Sorghum, Endocrinology and Starch in addition to Rumen.

His Feed conversion ratio research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Animal science and High-protein diet. His work deals with themes such as Duodenum, Edible Grain and Forage, which intersect with Starch. His Cottonseed study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Urea, Neutral Detergent Fiber, Gossypol and Plant protein.
