What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
Maurício Mello de Alencar mostly deals with Beef cattle, Animal science, Zebu, Restricted maximum likelihood and Heritability.
Beef cattle is a subfield of Genetics that Maurício Mello de Alencar investigates.
In his research on the topic of Animal science, Feces, Larva and Coat is strongly related with Veterinary medicine.
He has included themes like Variance components, Ice calving and Weaning in his Restricted maximum likelihood study.
The various areas that he examines in his Ice calving study include Von bertalanffy and Maternal effect.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Herd, Genetic correlation and Selection in addition to Heritability.
His most cited work include:
- Genome-wide association study for intramuscular fat deposition and composition in Nellore cattle (86 citations)
- Genome scan for meat quality traits in Nelore beef cattle. (78 citations)
- Genome-Wide Association for Growth Traits in Canchim Beef Cattle (71 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Animal science, Beef cattle, Breed, Heritability and Ice calving.
In the field of Animal science, his study on Zebu, Crossbreed and Weaning overlaps with subjects such as Random effects model.
His Beef cattle study is focused on Genetics in general.
His Breed study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Birth weight, Allele, Genotype and Direct effects.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Genetic variability, Herd, Genetic correlation and Restricted maximum likelihood.
His Ice calving research incorporates themes from Reproduction and Sire.
He most often published in these fields:
- Animal science (73.29%)
- Beef cattle (39.04%)
- Breed (26.03%)

- Beef cattle (39.04%)
- Animal science (73.29%)
- Genetics (19.86%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Beef cattle, Animal science, Genetics, Breed and Quantitative trait locus are his primary areas of study.
Maurício Mello de Alencar has researched Beef cattle in several fields, including Biotechnology, Crossbreed, Zebu, Heritability and Intramuscular fat.
His Heritability research includes themes of Herd and Genetic correlation.
Many of his research projects under Animal science are closely connected to Random effects model with Random effects model, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.
His research integrates issues of Morning, Thermoregulation, Weaning and Genotype in his study of Breed.
The Quantitative trait locus study combines topics in areas such as Allele and Candidate gene.
Between 2012 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Genome-wide association study for intramuscular fat deposition and composition in Nellore cattle (86 citations)
- Genome scan for meat quality traits in Nelore beef cattle. (78 citations)
- Genome-Wide Association for Growth Traits in Canchim Beef Cattle (71 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
His primary scientific interests are in Beef cattle, Genetics, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Quantitative trait locus and Breed.
His Beef cattle research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Genome-wide association study, Genetic association, Zebu, Intramuscular fat and Genetic architecture.
His Genetics research focuses on Heritability and Reproduction.
His study in Breed is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Feces analysis, Oesophagostomum, Eggs per gram, Botfly and Trichostrongylus.
His Dry matter study is concerned with Animal science in general.
The various areas that he examines in his Animal science study include Ice calving, Genetic correlation, Selection, Reproductive technology and Principal component analysis.
