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

With her scientific publications, her incorporates both Ecology and Zoology. Kym L. Butler carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Zoology and Ecology. She integrates Animal science with Agronomy in her research. Her work blends Agronomy and Animal science studies together. Many of her studies on Animal welfare involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as HUBzero. HUBzero is closely attributed to Animal welfare in her study. While working in this field, she studies both Food science and Biochemistry. By researching both Biochemistry and Food science, Kym L. Butler produces research that crosses academic boundaries.
