2015 - Canadian Society of Animal Science Fellowship Award

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Internal medicine
  • Biochemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Feed conversion ratio, Animal science, Broiler, Food science and Antibiotics. His Feed conversion ratio research integrates issues from Weight gain, Botany and Aspergillus niger. Philip A. Thacker interconnects Meal and Cultivar in the investigation of issues within Animal science.

Philip A. Thacker combines subjects such as Basal and Starter with his study of Broiler. When carried out as part of a general Food science research project, his work on Animal feed is frequently linked to work in Stachyose, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Biotechnology, Nutraceutical, Diarrhea and Antimicrobial peptides in addition to Antibiotics.

His most cited work include:

  • Alternatives to antibiotics as growth promoters for use in swine production: a review (168 citations)
  • Genotypic and environmental differences in extract viscosity of barley and their relationship to its nutritive value for broiler chickens (91 citations)
  • Effects of the antimicrobial peptide cecropin AD on performance and intestinal health in weaned piglets challenged with Escherichia coli. (90 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Animal science, Food science, Feed conversion ratio, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. Philip A. Thacker has researched Animal science in several fields, including Lactation and Agronomy. His work on Meal, Broiler, Distillers grains and Animal feed as part of general Food science research is frequently linked to Composition, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Meal research incorporates elements of Canola, Amino acid, Ileum and Protein digestibility. His Feed conversion ratio research also works with subjects such as

  • Weight gain which intersects with area such as Enzyme assay,
  • Lysine and related Methionine and Valine. He usually deals with Endocrinology and limits it to topics linked to Andrology and Insemination and Artificial insemination.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (45.00%)
  • Food science (26.00%)
  • Feed conversion ratio (26.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2019)?

  • Animal science (45.00%)
  • Microbiology (9.00%)
  • Feed conversion ratio (26.00%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Animal science, Microbiology, Feed conversion ratio, Broiler and Food science. His Animal science research includes themes of Amino acid, Lysine, Endocrinology, Agronomy and Internal medicine. His Endocrinology research incorporates themes from Dry matter, Calcium and Large white.

Duodenum, Enteritis, Minimum inhibitory concentration, Cecum and Antioxidant is closely connected to Ileum in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Microbiology. The Feed conversion ratio study combines topics in areas such as Weight gain, Pepper and Yolk. His work deals with themes such as Basal and Starter, which intersect with Broiler.

Between 2011 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Alternatives to antibiotics as growth promoters for use in swine production: a review (168 citations)
  • Effects of the antimicrobial peptide cecropin AD on performance and intestinal health in weaned piglets challenged with Escherichia coli. (90 citations)
  • Supplementation with branched-chain amino acids to a low-protein diet regulates intestinal expression of amino acid and peptide transporters in weanling pigs (70 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

His primary areas of study are Animal science, Feed conversion ratio, Microbiology, Broiler and Antibiotics. His study in Animal science is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Kitasamycin, Jejunum, Cecropin, Weight gain and Diarrhea. His work carried out in the field of Feed conversion ratio brings together such families of science as Meal, Food science and Polyunsaturated fatty acid.

Philip A. Thacker performs integrative study on Microbiology and Lactobacillus reuteri. His Broiler research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Canola, Camelina, Basal and Starter. His Antibiotics research includes elements of Biotechnology, Nutraceutical, Ileum and Antimicrobial peptides.
