Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Thomas J. Baas is best known for:

Gene
Genetics
Heritability

His Animal science study frequently links to other fields, such as Ractopamine. His Tenderness study frequently draws parallels with other fields, such as Meat tenderness. In most of his Meat tenderness studies, his work intersects topics such as Tenderness. His Biochemistry study typically links adjacent topics like Myoglobin. His study connects Biochemistry and Myoglobin. Endocrinology and Animal model are frequently intertwined in his study. His work in Animal model is not limited to one particular discipline; it also encompasses Endocrinology. He combines Gene and Crossbreed in his research. Thomas J. Baas carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Crossbreed and Gene.

His most cited work include:

Conjugated linoleic acid improves feed efficiency, decreases subcutaneous fat, and improves certain aspects of meat quality in stress-genotype pigs. (100 citations)
Genetic parameters and trends for litter traits in U.S. Yorkshire, Duroc, Hampshire, and Landrace pigs1 (97 citations)
Breed differences and genetic parameters of myoglobin concentration in porcine longissimus muscle12 (88 citations)

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

His Animal science study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Longissimus muscle. As part of his studies on Loin, he frequently links adjacent subjects like Food science. His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Loin and Food science. He carries out multidisciplinary research, doing studies in Genetics and Heritability. Thomas J. Baas combines Heritability and Gene in his studies. He integrates many fields in his works, including Gene and Genetic variation. The study of Genetic variation is intertwined with the study of Genetic correlation in a number of ways. His Genetic correlation study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Genetics. His Litter study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Agronomy.

In recent works Thomas J. Baas was focusing on the following fields of study:

In his articles, Thomas J. Baas combines various disciplines, including Lactation and Weaning. Thomas J. Baas combines Weaning and Lactation in his research. Litter is often connected to Ecology in his work. As part of his studies on Ecology, Thomas J. Baas frequently links adjacent subjects like Litter. By researching both Breed and Purebred, Thomas J. Baas produces research that crosses academic boundaries. He integrates Purebred and Breed in his research. His study in Animal science extends to Sire with its themes. His Sire research extends to the thematically linked field of Animal science. His study on Herd is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Veterinary medicine.

Between 2011 and 2013, his most popular works were:
