Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Animal science
  • Endocrinology

His primary areas of study are Animal science, Surgery, Food science, Longissimus and Intramuscular fat. Animal science is often connected to Muscle fascia in his work. His research in the fields of Paleness overlaps with other disciplines such as Heat stress and Truck.

His study in the field of Tenderness, Animal feed and Palatability is also linked to topics like Growth rate and Soybean meal. Large white, Left longissimus and Thoracic region is closely connected to Marbled meat in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Intramuscular fat. His research investigates the connection between Live weight and topics such as Veterinary medicine that intersect with problems in Carcass weight, Crossbreed, Halothane, Pre slaughter and Slaughter weight.

His most cited work include:

  • Road transport of cattle, swine and poultry in North America and its impact on animal welfare, carcass and meat quality: A review (171 citations)
  • Effects of slaughter weight on carcass composition and meat quality in pigs of two different growth rates. (125 citations)
  • A survey of pre-slaughter conditions, halothane gene frequency, and carcass and meat quality in five Spanish pig commercial abattoirs. (107 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Animal science, Animal welfare, Quality, Veterinary medicine and Food science. His Animal science research incorporates elements of Body weight, Internal medicine and Surgery. In his research on the topic of Internal medicine, Longissimus and Endocrinology is strongly related with Large white.

Animal welfare is intertwined with Welfare and Animal husbandry in his study. His Veterinary medicine research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Incidence and Halothane. His Silage and Shelf life study, which is part of a larger body of work in Food science, is frequently linked to Soybean meal, Food spoilage and Bacterial growth, bridging the gap between disciplines.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (55.66%)
  • Animal welfare (15.09%)
  • Quality (12.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Animal science (55.66%)
  • Animal welfare (15.09%)
  • Skin lesion (7.55%)

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

Luigi Faucitano mainly investigates Animal science, Animal welfare, Skin lesion, Welfare and Quality. His Animal science study frequently links to other fields, such as High fat diet. His Animal welfare study overlaps with Withdrawal time, Low density, Alternative methods, Pig farms and Agricultural science.

His work carried out in the field of Skin lesion brings together such families of science as Longissimus Thoracis, Enzyme assay, Lesion and Creatine kinase. Among his Welfare studies, there is a synthesis of other scientific areas such as Agricultural economics, Muscle metabolism, Animal husbandry, Research findings and Limiting. Quality is intertwined with Environmental health and Variation in his research.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A Review of Swine Transportation Research on Priority Welfare Issues: A Canadian Perspective (12 citations)
  • Temperament effects on performance and adaptability of Nellore young bulls to the feedlot environment (9 citations)
  • Preslaughter handling practices and their effects on animal welfare and pork quality. (8 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Animal science
  • Endocrinology

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Welfare, Animal welfare, Quality and Agricultural science. His Animal science investigation overlaps with Microclimate, Trailer, Air temperature, Blood lactate and Repeated measures design. His Welfare research spans across into fields like Muscle metabolism, Limiting, Research findings, Animal husbandry and Duration.

His Animal welfare research incorporates Agricultural economics, Transport time, Control, Livestock and Rest. Luigi Faucitano integrates many fields, such as Agricultural science, Electrocution and Alternative methods, in his works.
