What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Wayne S. Pitchford mostly deals with Animal science, Beef cattle, Breed, Agronomy and Animal breeding.
Wayne S. Pitchford combines topics linked to Residual feed intake with his work on Animal science.
His research integrates issues of Feedlot, Marbled meat, Quantitative trait locus, Genotype and Heritability in his study of Beef cattle.
His Breed research incorporates themes from Veterinary medicine and Fatty acid composition, Polyunsaturated fatty acid, Fatty acid.
As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Agronomy, focusing on Ice calving and, on occasion, Obesity.
His studies in Animal breeding integrate themes in fields like Biotechnology, Selection and Animal nutrition.
He most often published in these fields:

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His main research concerns Animal science, Residual feed intake, Agronomy, Herd and Beef cattle.
His research on Animal science frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Ice calving.
His Residual feed intake research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Weight gain, Angus cattle, Appetite and Feedlot.
His study in Herd is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pregnancy, Biotechnology and Animal breeding.
His Beef cattle study which covers Agriculture that intersects with Integrated pest management, Weight change, Adaptability and Agricultural science.
His research in Marbled meat intersects with topics in Longissimus muscle, Tenderness and Longissimus dorsi.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A review of factors influencing key biological components of maternal productivity in temperate beef cattle (27 citations)
- Selection for residual feed intake affects appetite and body composition rather than energetic efficiency (23 citations)
- Selection for residual feed intake affects appetite and body composition rather than energetic efficiency (23 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Statistics
- Gene
- Internal medicine
Residual feed intake, Animal science, Agronomy, Rump and Productivity are his primary areas of study.
The concepts of his Residual feed intake study are interwoven with issues in Biotechnology and Beef cattle.
Wayne S. Pitchford combines subjects such as Ecology, Agriculture, Adaptability, Agricultural science and Weight change with his study of Beef cattle.
His Animal science research integrates issues from Vitamin, Adipocyte and Subcutaneous fat.
His Agronomy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Weight gain, Angus cattle and Weaning.
His work carried out in the field of Angus cattle brings together such families of science as Feed conversion ratio, Obesity, Ice calving and Pregnancy rate.
