V. L. Christensen

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Internal medicine
• Biochemistry
• Endocrinology

V. L. Christensen focuses on Incubation, Animal science, Eggshell, Hatching and Embryo. His Incubation study combines topics in areas such as Glycogen and Anatomy. He combines subjects such as Incubation period and Biochemistry with his study of Animal science.

His Eggshell study is concerned with Ecology in general. His research integrates issues of Zoology, Jejunum and Starter in his study of Hatching. As a part of the same scientific study, V. L. Christensen usually deals with the Embryo, concentrating on Andrology and frequently concerns with Survival rate.

His most cited work include:

• Egg Storage Effects on Plasma Glucose and Supply and Demand Tissue Glycogen Concentrations of Broiler Embryos (101 citations)
• Jejunal glucose uptake and oxygen consumption in turkey poults selected for rapid growth (98 citations)
• The Effect of Broiler Breeder Genetic Strain and Parent Flock Age on Eggshell Conductance and Embryonic Metabolism (67 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Animal science, Incubation, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Eggshell. His study in the field of Large white also crosses realms of Fertility. The Incubation study combines topics in areas such as Glycogen, Hatching, Hatchling and Embryo.

In the field of Embryo, his study on Embryogenesis overlaps with subjects such as Iodide. His work in Endocrinology addresses issues such as In ovo, which are connected to fields such as Feed conversion ratio. His work deals with themes such as Yolk and Cardiovascular physiology, which intersect with Eggshell.

He most often published in these fields:

• Animal science (58.02%)
• Incubation (41.22%)
• Internal medicine (34.35%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2017)?

• Embryo (29.77%)
• Animal science (58.02%)
• Eggshell (31.30%)

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

Embryo, Animal science, Eggshell, Internal medicine and Endocrinology are his primary areas of study. His study in Embryo is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Glycogen and Andrology. V. L. Christensen regularly links together related areas like Incubator in his Animal science studies.

His Eggshell study incorporates themes from Broiler, Incubation, Cardiovascular physiology, Anatomy and Hatching. His Incubation study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Yolk and Hatchling. His study in the field of Follicle, Thyroid function, Thyroid and Triiodothyronine is also linked to topics like Maternal effect.

Between 2005 and 2017, his most popular works were:

• The Effect of Broiler Breeder Genetic Strain and Parent Flock Age on Eggshell Conductance and Embryonic Metabolism (67 citations)
• Broiler embryo bone development is influenced by incubator temperature, oxygen concentration and eggshell conductance at the plateau stage in oxygen consumption1 (37 citations)
• Incubator Temperature and Oxygen Concentration at the Plateau Stage in Oxygen Consumption Affects Intestinal Maturation of Broiler Chicks (23 citations)

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

• Internal medicine
• Biochemistry
• Endocrinology

V. L. Christensen spends much of his time researching Animal science, Eggshell, Incubation, Limiting oxygen concentration and Anatomy. Many of his studies involve connections with topics such as Embryo and Animal science. His Embryo research integrates issues from Incubation period, Genetic strain, Respiratory quotient and Flock.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Endocrinology, Altricial and Hatching in addition to Eggshell. His study focuses on the intersection of Incubation and fields such as Yolk with connections in the field of Zoology, Internal medicine, Hatchling, Ontogeny and Precocial. His research in Broiler intersects with topics in Incubator and Biochemistry.
