Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Animal science
  • Statistics

Trevor J. DeVries mostly deals with Animal science, Feeding behavior, Dairy cattle, Lactation and Meal. He combines subjects such as Dairy industry, Feces and Forage with his study of Animal science. His study explores the link between Feeding behavior and topics such as Dry matter that cross with problems in Animal feed.

His Dairy cattle study which covers Barn that intersects with Morning. His work on Automatic milking as part of general Lactation research is frequently linked to Attendance, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Milking research focuses on subjects like Herd, which are linked to Mastitis and Negatively associated.

His most cited work include:

  • Stocking density and feed barrier design affect the feeding and social behavior of dairy cattle. (223 citations)
  • Effect of feeding space on the inter-cow distance, aggression, and feeding behavior of free-stall housed lactating dairy cows. (205 citations)
  • Frequency of feed delivery affects the behavior of lactating dairy cows. (197 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Animal science, Dry matter, Dairy cattle, Milking and Feeding behavior. His Herd and Weaning study in the realm of Animal science connects with subjects such as Lactation and Ice calving. His work on Neutral Detergent Fiber as part of general Dry matter research is often related to Total mixed ration, thus linking different fields of science.

His Dairy industry research extends to Dairy cattle, which is thematically connected. The concepts of his Milking study are interwoven with issues in Barn and Lameness. Trevor J. DeVries conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Feeding behavior and Monitoring system.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Animal science (69.39%)
  • Dry matter (33.16%)
  • Dairy cattle (21.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2019-2021)?

  • Animal science (69.39%)
  • Ice calving (12.76%)
  • Dry matter (33.16%)

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

His main research concerns Animal science, Ice calving, Dry matter, Lactation and Straw. He undertakes multidisciplinary investigations into Animal science and Somatic cell count in his work. In the field of Ice calving, his study on Milk fever overlaps with subjects such as Body weight, Urine and Linear relationship.

Trevor J. DeVries frequently studies issues relating to Feeding behavior and Dry matter. Borrowing concepts from Net energy, Trevor J. DeVries weaves in ideas under Lactation. His Straw research incorporates themes from Weaning, Meal, Forage and Feed consumption.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Effects of wheat straw chop length in high-straw dry cow diets on intake, health, and performance of dairy cows across the transition period. (6 citations)
  • Bacterial concentrations in bedding and their association with dairy cow hygiene and milk quality. (5 citations)
  • Effect of diet-induced negative energy balance on the feeding behavior of dairy cows. (4 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Statistics
  • Ecology

Trevor J. DeVries mainly investigates Animal science, Straw, Dry matter, Lactation and Total mixed ration. Particularly relevant to Herd is his body of work in Animal science. His Straw research includes themes of Meal and Forage.

His Meal study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Feeding behavior and Net energy. His work on Metritis as part of general Lactation study is frequently linked to Retained placenta, Culling and Mastitis, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His Ice calving research extends to the thematically linked field of Total mixed ration.
