Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Animal science
  • Genetics
  • Statistics

Michael M Schutz mostly deals with Animal science, Dairy cattle, Lactation, Somatic cell and Biotechnology. His Animal science course of study focuses on Ice calving and Reticular connective tissue. His Dairy cattle research incorporates elements of Milking, Herd, Statistics and Body condition score.

His study in Estrous cycle extends to Lactation with its themes. Michael M Schutz connects Somatic cell with Somatic cell count in his research. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Parity and Heritability.

His most cited work include:

  • Selection on Somatic Cell Score to Improve Resistance to Mastitis in the United States (170 citations)
  • Genetic Evaluation of Somatic Cell Scores for United States Dairy Cattle (126 citations)
  • Variation of Milk, Fat, Protein, and Somatic Cells for Dairy Cattle (119 citations)

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

Animal science, Dairy cattle, Ice calving, Lactation and Milking are his primary areas of study. His work on Herd and Sire as part of general Animal science study is frequently linked to Grazing and Somatic cell, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Dairy cattle study combines topics in areas such as Dairy industry, Body condition scoring, Animal breeding and Body condition.

Michael M Schutz has included themes like Endocrinology, Internal medicine and Reticular connective tissue in his Ice calving study. His Lactation research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Veterinary medicine and Reproduction. His Milking research focuses on Shorthorn and how it relates to Interaction.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (66.07%)
  • Dairy cattle (39.29%)
  • Ice calving (28.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Animal science (66.07%)
  • Grazing (10.71%)
  • Feed conversion ratio (5.36%)

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

Michael M Schutz mainly investigates Animal science, Grazing, Feed conversion ratio, Herd and Feces. His work deals with themes such as Food science, Ice calving, Lactation and Withers, which intersect with Animal science. His studies in Ice calving integrate themes in fields like Cattle Diseases, Biotechnology and Artificial insemination.

The concepts of his Lactation study are interwoven with issues in Barn, Hoof and Reproduction. His study looks at the intersection of Hoof and topics like Veterinary medicine with Dairy cattle. His Feed conversion ratio study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Reduced fat, Loin and Sire.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of rubber flooring during the first 2 lactations on production, locomotion, hoof health, immune functions, and stress1 (21 citations)
  • Effect of group size on behavior, health, production, and welfare of veal calves. (15 citations)
  • Economic considerations of breeding for polled dairy cows versus dehorning in the United States. (14 citations)

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

  • Genetics
  • Statistics
  • Animal science

His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Veterinary medicine, Social contact, Weight gain and Plasma cortisol. His Animal science research integrates issues from Hoof, Reproduction and Cattle Diseases. The study of Veterinary medicine is intertwined with the study of Dairy cattle in a number of ways.

His study on Social contact is intertwined with other disciplines of science such as Health production, Animal welfare, Feces, Animal husbandry and Welfare.
