Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Animal science
  • Gene
  • Genetics

N. M. Fogarty mostly deals with Animal science, Crossbreed, Reproduction, Litter and Wool. Animal science is closely attributed to Genotype in his study. His Reproduction study incorporates themes from Genetic correlation, Flock and Heritability.

His study looks at the relationship between Heritability and topics such as Maternal effect, which overlap with Genetic model, Econometrics, Confidence interval, Statistics and Standard error. The Litter study combines topics in areas such as Breed, Birth weight and Domestic sheep reproduction. His research in Texel tackles topics such as Carcass weight which are related to areas like Carcass composition.

His most cited work include:

  • A review of genetic parameter estimates for wool, growth, meat and reproduction traits in sheep (441 citations)
  • Genetic parameters for live weight, fat and muscle measurements, wool production and reproduction in sheep: a review (223 citations)
  • Diverse lamb genotypes-2. Meat pH, colour and tenderness. (108 citations)

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

Animal science, Heritability, Crossbreed, Reproduction and Flock are his primary areas of study. His work in Animal science tackles topics such as Biotechnology which are related to areas like Drought tolerance. His Heritability research integrates issues from Genetic correlation and Maternal effect.

His studies deal with areas such as Fecundity, Genetic variation and Pasture as well as Crossbreed. His Reproduction research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Statistics, Agronomy and Eye muscle. In his research on the topic of Flock, Genotype is strongly related with Carcass weight.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (101.27%)
  • Heritability (44.30%)
  • Crossbreed (40.51%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2013-2018)?

  • Animal science (101.27%)
  • Flock (43.04%)
  • Biotechnology (35.44%)

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

N. M. Fogarty spends much of his time researching Animal science, Flock, Biotechnology, Heritability and Drought tolerance. His study in the field of Meat tenderness also crosses realms of Polyunsaturated fatty acid. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Sire, Intramuscular fat, Live weight and Reproduction.

His work focuses on many connections between Reproduction and other disciplines, such as Breed, that overlap with his field of interest in Domestic sheep reproduction. His Heritability research incorporates themes from Crossbreed and Threshold model. His Crossbreed research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Genetic correlation and Animal breeding.

Between 2013 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • A review of the genetic and epigenetic factors affecting lamb survival (35 citations)
  • Genetic evaluation of maternal behaviour and temperament in Australian sheep (16 citations)
  • Genetic relationships between internal parasite resistance and production traits in Merino sheep (15 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Agriculture
  • Genetics

His primary scientific interests are in Biotechnology, Heritability, Reproduction, Flock and Animal science. N. M. Fogarty interconnects Confounding and Drought tolerance in the investigation of issues within Heritability. His Confounding research includes themes of Linear model, Genetic gain, Epigenetics and Threshold model.

N. M. Fogarty performs multidisciplinary study on Epigenetics and Inefficiency in his works. Other disciplines of study, such as Wool and Breeding program, are mixed together with his Drought tolerance studies. Breed, Temperament and Domestic sheep reproduction are fields of study that overlap with his Trait research.
