2012 - Excellence in Nutrition and Meat Sciences, Canadian Society of Animal Science

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Food science

His main research concerns Food science, Nutrient, Animal science, Starch and Feces. His study in Meal and Fermentation is carried out as part of his studies in Food science. His Meal research incorporates elements of Canola, Feed conversion ratio, Dry matter and Soybean meal.

His Animal science study combines topics in areas such as Nutrient intake and Botany. His Starch research incorporates elements of Digestion and Endocrinology. His work is dedicated to discovering how Feces, Xylanase are connected with Phytase, Phosphorus and Amino acid and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • Nutritional value of wheat and corn distiller’s dried grain with solubles: Digestibility and digestible contents of energy, amino acids and phosphorus, nutrient excretion and growth performance of grower-finisher pigs (160 citations)
  • Effects of guar gum and cellulose on digesta passage rate, ileal microbial populations, energy and protein digestibility, and performance of grower pigs. (123 citations)
  • NONRUMINANT NUTRITION SYMPOSIUM: Controlling feed cost by including alternative ingredients into pig diets: A review (119 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Food science, Animal science, Canola, Meal and Starch. His research in Food science is mostly focused on Fermentation. His work on Nutrient digestibility as part of general Animal science research is often related to Latin square, thus linking different fields of science.

His Canola study combines topics in areas such as Loin, Soybean meal, Glucosinolate and Dry matter. His research integrates issues of Brassica, Weight gain and Rapeseed in his study of Meal. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Starch, Animal feed, Endocrinology, Internal medicine, In vivo and Ileum is strongly linked to Digestion.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Food science (44.60%)
  • Animal science (37.09%)
  • Canola (20.66%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Animal science (37.09%)
  • Food science (44.60%)
  • Starch (16.43%)

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

Ruurd T. Zijlstra focuses on Animal science, Food science, Starch, Nutrient digestibility and Meal. His work on Net energy as part of general Animal science research is often related to Latin square, thus linking different fields of science. His study of Fermentation is a part of Food science.

His studies deal with areas such as Confocal, Phytic acid, Browning and Food industry as well as Starch. His research investigates the connection between Nutrient digestibility and topics such as Trypsin that intersect with problems in Cultivar and Tannin. His research in Meal intersects with topics in Canola and Brassica.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Metagenomic reconstructions of gut microbial metabolism in weanling pigs (34 citations)
  • Effect of anti-nutritional factors of oilseed co-products on feed intake of pigs and poultry (31 citations)
  • Identification and quantification of virulence factors of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli by high-resolution melting curve quantitative PCR. (10 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Internal medicine

Food science, Animal science, Digestion, Fermentation and Soybean meal are his primary areas of study. The concepts of his Food science study are interwoven with issues in Composition, In vitro and Dry matter. Ruurd T. Zijlstra undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Animal science and Population in his work.

Ruurd T. Zijlstra has researched Digestion in several fields, including Suidae, Ileum, Nutrient and Starch. His study in Fermentation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nutrient digestibility and Solvent extraction, Extraction. His Soybean meal study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Canola, Body weight and Meal.
