What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Ovulation
  • Genetics

Paul M. Fricke focuses on Ovulation, Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Animal science and Dairy cattle. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Corpus luteum, Luteal phase and Artificial insemination. His Artificial insemination research incorporates themes from Fertility, Gynecology and Abortion.

His primary area of study in Endocrinology is in the field of Luteinizing hormone. Paul M. Fricke combines subjects such as Pregnancy, Lactation and Insemination with his study of Animal science. His work deals with themes such as Herd and Sire, which intersect with Dairy cattle.

His most cited work include:

  • Selection of the dominant follicle in cattle (561 citations)

Paul M. Fricke mostly deals with Artificial insemination, Pregnancy, Andrology, Animal science and Fertility. His Artificial insemination research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Ovulation, Ice calving and Endocrine system. His work in the fields of Ovulation, such as Plasma progesterone, intersects with other areas such as Untreated control.

His research in Pregnancy intersects with topics in Culling and Prostaglandin. His work is dedicated to discovering how Andrology, Human chorionic gonadotropin are connected with Embryo transfer, Estrous cycle and Dominant follicle and other disciplines. His Fertility study which covers Dairy cattle that intersects with Gestation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Genetics
  • Pregnancy

His main research concerns Pregnancy, Animal science, Fertility, Luteal phase and Artificial insemination. In general Pregnancy, his work in Early Pregnancy Loss and Twin Pregnancy is often linked to Demography and Retained placenta linking many areas of study. Paul M. Fricke works in the field of Animal science, namely Dairy cattle.

His Luteal phase research integrates issues from Prostaglandin f, Prostaglandin, Pregnancy Status and Meta-analysis, Random effects model. His work carried out in the field of Artificial insemination brings together such families of science as Relative risk, Confidence interval and Double dose.
