Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study K.M. Pierce is best known for:

Agriculture
Dairy cattle
Yeast

His Demography research focuses on subjects like Population, which are linked to Environmental health. His study connects Population and Environmental health. While the research belongs to areas of Grazing, K.M. Pierce spends his time largely on the problem of Agronomy, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Pasture and Dry matter. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Ecology and Pasture. His study brings together the fields of Herd and Ecology. He merges Herd with Agriculture in his research. His work blends Agriculture and Hectare studies together. His research on Dry matter frequently links to adjacent areas such as Agronomy. His Animal science study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Weaning.

His most cited work include:

An evaluation of production efficiencies among lactating Holstein-Friesian, Jersey, and Jersey × Holstein-Friesian cows at pasture (114 citations)
The effects of seaweed extract inclusion on gut morphology, selected intestinal microbiota, nutrient digestibility, volatile fatty acid concentrations and the immune status of the weaned pig (113 citations)
Effect of purified β-glucans derived from Laminaria digitata, Laminaria hyperborea and Saccharomyces cerevisiae on piglet performance, selected bacterial populations, volatile fatty acids and pro-inflammatory cytokines in the gastrointestinal tract of pigs (93 citations)

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

His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Herd and Animal science. His Herd study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Animal science. Much of his study explores Genetics relationship to Ice calving. His study on Ice calving is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Lactation. K.M. Pierce brings together Lactation and Pregnancy to produce work in his papers. His work on Total mixed ration expands to the thematically related Pregnancy. His study deals with a combination of Total mixed ration and Dairy cattle. Many of his studies on Dairy cattle involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Genetics. His Agronomy study typically links adjacent topics like Forage.

K.M. Pierce most often published in these fields:

Animal science (91.23%)
Genetics (61.40%)
Pregnancy (57.89%)
