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

  • Statistics
  • Genetics
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of investigation include Animal science, Welfare, Casein, Milking and Genotype. Pascal A. Oltenacu does research in Animal science, focusing on Dairy cattle specifically. Welfare combines with fields such as Lactation, Mastitis, Hygiene, Risk assessment and Public health in his research.
