Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Genetics
  • Animal science

Pascal A. Oltenacu mainly investigates Animal science, Herd, Lactation, Mastitis and Dairy cattle. His Animal science study frequently involves adjacent topics like Ice calving. His Herd study contributes to a more complete understanding of Veterinary medicine.

His Veterinary medicine research includes elements of Odds ratio and Metritis. His Lactation research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Milking, Fertility, Biotechnology and Heritability. His Dairy cattle research incorporates elements of Genetic correlation and Milk yield.

His most cited work include:

  • Path model of reproductive disorders and performance, milk fever, mastitis, milk yield, and culling in Holstein cows. (288 citations)
  • The impact of genetic selection for increased milk yield on the welfare of dairy cows. (251 citations)
  • Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat (swine) (145 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Animal science, Herd, Dairy cattle, Lactation and Ice calving. Pascal A. Oltenacu interconnects Mastitis, Fertility and Heritability in the investigation of issues within Animal science. His Herd research focuses on Estrous cycle and how it connects with Estrus Detection.

His Dairy cattle study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Statistics, Genetic correlation, Gene–environment interaction and Sire. His study looks at the relationship between Lactation and fields such as Milk production, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Pascal A. Oltenacu combines subjects such as Herd management and Reproduction with his study of Ice calving.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (61.45%)
  • Herd (45.78%)
  • Dairy cattle (25.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2020)?

  • Animal science (61.45%)
  • Welfare (4.82%)
  • Beef cattle (2.41%)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Welfare, Beef cattle, Phenotypic plasticity and Pasture. His study looks at the relationship between Animal science and topics such as Mixed model, which overlap with Genetic model. As a part of the same scientific family, Pascal A. Oltenacu mostly works in the field of Beef cattle, focusing on Wombat and, on occasion, Heritability and Herd.

In his articles, Pascal A. Oltenacu combines various disciplines, including Herd and Management practices. His Pasture research incorporates themes from Coat and Repeatability. His research in Dairy cattle intersects with topics in Fertility, Genetic correlation, Animal welfare, Toxicology and Mastitis.

Between 2009 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The impact of genetic selection for increased milk yield on the welfare of dairy cows. (251 citations)
  • Scientific Opinion on the public health hazards to be covered by inspection of meat (swine) (145 citations)
  • Effect of prolactin, β-lactoglobulin, and κ-casein genotype on milk yield in East Friesian sheep (24 citations)

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.

As part of his studies on Casein, he frequently links adjacent subjects like East Friesian sheep.
