Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Ovulation

Her primary scientific interests are in Estrous cycle, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Ovulation and Animal science. Her Estrous cycle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Weaning, Insemination and Artificial insemination. Her Weaning study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Lactation.

She combines subjects such as Sperm and BOAR with her study of Internal medicine. Her biological study deals with issues like Dairy cattle, which deal with fields such as Human fertilization. Nicoline M. Soede is involved in the study of Animal science that focuses on Litter in particular.

Her most cited work include:

  • Pedometer readings for estrous detection and as predictor for time of ovulation in dairy cattle (162 citations)
  • Various behavioral signs of estrous and their relationship with time of ovulation in dairy cattle. (153 citations)
  • Duration of estrus in relation to reproduction results in pigs on commercial farms. (105 citations)

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

Nicoline M. Soede mainly focuses on Animal science, Estrous cycle, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Weaning. Nicoline M. Soede has researched Animal science in several fields, including Birth weight, Lactation, Insemination and Pregnancy rate. Her Estrous cycle study also includes fields such as

  • BOAR which intersects with area such as Oxytocin,
  • Andrology that connect with fields like Antral follicle.

As a member of one scientific family, Nicoline M. Soede mostly works in the field of Internal medicine, focusing on Reproductive technology and, on occasion, Folliculogenesis. Her work on Progesterone secretion, Postprandial and Blood plasma as part of general Endocrinology research is frequently linked to Ultrasonography, bridging the gap between disciplines. Her Weaning study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Weight gain and Follicular phase.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (53.89%)
  • Estrous cycle (43.11%)
  • Internal medicine (41.92%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Animal science (53.89%)
  • Weaning (37.72%)
  • Lactation (32.93%)

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

Nicoline M. Soede mostly deals with Animal science, Weaning, Lactation, Ovulation and Internal medicine. The concepts of her Animal science study are interwoven with issues in Veterinary medicine and Birth weight. Her Weaning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Follicle, Weight gain and Estrous cycle.

The Estrous cycle study combines topics in areas such as Ovulation induction, Induced ovulation and Buserelin. Her work carried out in the field of Ovulation brings together such families of science as Both ovaries, Luteal phase and Embryogenesis. She has included themes like Endocrinology, Pregnancy rate and Reproductive technology in her Internal medicine study.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The effect of litter size, parity and farrowing duration on placenta expulsion and retention in sows. (32 citations)
  • Development of piglets raised in a new multi-litter housing system vs. conventional single-litter housing until 9 weeks of age (28 citations)
  • Relationships between ovulation rate and embryonic and placental characteristics in multiparous sows at 35 days of pregnancy. (23 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Animal science

Nicoline M. Soede mainly investigates Animal science, Lactation, Weaning, Litter and Follicular phase. Her Animal science research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Internal medicine and Endocrinology. Her research integrates issues of Folliculogenesis and Reproductive technology in her study of Internal medicine.

Her study in the fields of Metritis under the domain of Lactation overlaps with other disciplines such as Ultrasonography. Her studies in Weaning integrate themes in fields like Follicle, Weight gain and Veterinary medicine. Her Follicular phase research incorporates elements of Follicular fluid, Ovulation and Andrology.
