Martin Riis Weisbjerg spends much of his time researching Animal science, Dry matter, Rumen, Silage and Food science. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Ruminant and Feed conversion ratio. Dry matter is a subfield of Agronomy that Martin Riis Weisbjerg explores.

His Rumen research incorporates elements of Porphyra, Small intestine, Pelvetia and Fatty acid. His study explores the link between Silage and topics such as Latin square that cross with problems in Avena and Rapeseed. His study in Food science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Conjugated linoleic acid and Weight gain.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Prediction of enteric methane production, yield, and intensity in dairy cattle using an intercontinental database (72 citations)

  • Symposium review: Uncertainties in enteric methane inventories, measurement techniques, and prediction models (41 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Ecology
  • Agriculture

Martin Riis Weisbjerg mostly deals with Dry matter, Animal science, Rumen, Forage and Food science. His Dry matter study incorporates themes from Silage, Red Clover and Ruminant. Silage is the subject of his research, which falls under Agronomy.

Animal science is frequently linked to Calcium ammonium nitrate in his study. His Rumen research includes themes of Organic matter, Botany, Pelvetia and Porphyra. His Food science course of study focuses on Weight gain and Starch and Milk production.
