Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Food science
  • Biochemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Rumen, Dairy cattle, Dry matter and Latin square. His Animal science research incorporates elements of Representative sampling, Biotechnology and Leptin. His work carried out in the field of Rumen brings together such families of science as Livestock and Distillers grains.

His research investigates the link between Dry matter and topics such as Food science that cross with problems in Excretion. His work focuses on many connections between Latin square and other disciplines, such as Neutral Detergent Fiber, that overlap with his field of interest in Silage, Hay and Chromatography. His studies in Silage integrate themes in fields like Monensin and Digestion.

His most cited work include:

  • Modification of the Penn State Forage and Total Mixed Ration Particle Separator and the Effects of Moisture Content on its Measurements (366 citations)
  • Evaluation of bacterial diversity in the rumen and feces of cattle fed different levels of dried distillers grains plus solubles using bacterial tag-encoded FLX amplicon pyrosequencing. (212 citations)
  • The Effect of Corn Silage Particle Size on Eating Behavior, Chewing Activities, and Rumen Fermentation in Lactating Dairy Cows (175 citations)

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

Animal science, Dry matter, Rumen, Distillers grains and Food science are his primary areas of study. When carried out as part of a general Animal science research project, his work on Dairy cattle and Silage is frequently linked to work in Soybean meal, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. His Neutral Detergent Fiber study in the realm of Dry matter interacts with subjects such as Particle size.

His study focuses on the intersection of Rumen and fields such as Biotechnology with connections in the field of Linear regression. As a part of the same scientific study, Paul J.

His primary scientific interests are in Animal science, Dry matter, Neutral Detergent Fiber, Rumen and Forage. His work on Dairy cattle and Distillers grains as part of general Animal science study is frequently linked to Soybean meal, bridging the gap between disciplines. In his research, Canola is intimately related to Meal, which falls under the overarching field of Dry matter.

His Neutral Detergent Fiber study combines topics in areas such as Silage and Concordance correlation coefficient. His Rumen research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Amino acid, Nitrogen flow, Prediction bias and Protein degradation. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Fractionation and Nutrient.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Predictions of ruminal outflow of essential amino acids in dairy cattle. (8 citations)
  • Use of indirect calorimetry to evaluate utilization of energy in lactating Jersey dairy cattle consuming common coproducts. (5 citations)
  • Development of feed composition tables using a statistical screening procedure. (4 citations)

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

  • Biochemistry
  • Statistics
  • Food science

Paul J. Kononoff mostly deals with Animal science, Dry matter, Dairy cattle, Neutral Detergent Fiber and Meal. The Animal science study combines topics in areas such as Amino acid and Rumen. Paul J. Kononoff has included themes like Nitrogen flow, Distillers grains, Prediction bias, Latin square and Mean squared error in his Dairy cattle study.

His Distillers grains study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Corn oil, Calcium, Energy balance and Nitrogen balance. His Neutral Detergent Fiber research includes elements of Cottonseed, Starch, Silage, Lactose and Excretion. His Meal research incorporates themes from Canola, Forage and Hay.
