Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Ecology

Kokou Tona mainly focuses on Animal science, Broiler, Hatching, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. He integrates Animal science and Hatchery in his studies. His Broiler study incorporates themes from Ecology and Flock.

His studies in Hatching integrate themes in fields like Juvenile and Anatomy. His Endocrinology research integrates issues from Embryo and Embryogenesis. The concepts of his Embryo study are interwoven with issues in Triiodothyronine, Hyperthermia and Hatchling.

His most cited work include:

  • Effects of egg storage time on spread of hatch, chick quality, and chick juvenile growth. (186 citations)
  • Effects of Age of Broiler Breeders and Egg Storage on Egg Quality, Hatchability, Chick Quality, Chick Weight, and Chick Posthatch Growth to Forty-Two Days (169 citations)
  • The day-old chick: a crucial hinge between breeders and broilers (130 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Broiler, Hatching, Endocrinology and Internal medicine. Kokou Tona has researched Animal science in several fields, including Juvenile, Anatomy, Body weight, Flock and Embryo. Kokou Tona has included themes like Andrology and Triiodothyronine in his Embryo study.

Many of his research projects under Broiler are closely connected to Incubation period with Incubation period, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Kokou Tona combines subjects such as In ovo and Yolk with his study of Endocrinology. His study in Internal medicine is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Yolk sac and Sire.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (46.88%)
  • Broiler (36.46%)
  • Hatching (28.12%)

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

  • Animal science (46.88%)
  • Broiler (36.46%)
  • Production (8.33%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Animal science, Broiler, Production, Hatching and Horticulture. His Animal science research incorporates elements of Meal, Corticosterone and Embryogenesis. His Meal research includes themes of Maggot and Feed conversion ratio.

His work deals with themes such as Tropical climate and Moringa, which intersect with Broiler. His Hatching research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Juvenile, Triiodothyronine and Carica. His Manihot esculenta and PAPAYA SEED study in the realm of Horticulture interacts with subjects such as Inclusion and Boiler.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Effects of Feeding Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Maggot Meal as a Substitute for Fish Meal on Broiler Meat Quality (3 citations)
  • Effect of guinea fowl egg storage duration on embryonic and physiological parameters, and keet juvenile growth. (3 citations)
  • Effect of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia Illucens) Maggots Meal as a Substitute for Fish Meal on Growth Performance, Biochemical Parameters and Digestibility of Broiler Chickens (2 citations)

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

  • Endocrinology
  • Internal medicine
  • Ecology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Embryo, Hatching, Soldier fly and Maggot. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Triiodothyronine and Animal science. His Embryo study combines topics in areas such as Layer, Juvenile and Corticosterone.

His Hatching research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Carica, PAPAYA SEED and Horticulture. Kokou Tona integrates many fields in his works, including Soldier fly, Broiler, Hermetia illucens, Fish meal and Meal.
