Impacts of Supplemental Arginine on Ewe Reproductive Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of injectable and oral arginine (Arg) supplementation provided 14 d post-breeding on reproductive performance of fall lambing ewes. Upon estrus detection (d 0) ewes ...
Winter Feeding Strategies: Implications of Corn Supplementation on Gestating Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Overwintered, gestating beef cows fed low-quality forage are at risk of nutrient restriction which can lead to compromised growth and poor carcass quality in their offspring. In many species, poor maternal nutrition also ...
The Effects of Red Meat or Sugar Supplementation during Gestation and Lactation on Maternal Reproduction, Maternal and Offspring Blood Parameters, and Offspring Body Composition
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Using swine as a model for humans, this study was conducted to examine whether maternal consumption of added protein (red meat) or free sugar (glucose) throughout gestation and lactation was associated with maternal ...
Effects of Maternal Nutrition on Fructose, Glucose, and Cationic Amino Acid Transporter Expression in Bovine Utero-Placental Tissues from Days 16 to 50 of Gestation
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Poor Maternal nutrition has been implicated to reduce nutrient transport to the conceptus. Therefore, we hypothesized that maternal nutrition and day of gestation would impact mRNA expression of nutrient transporters GLUT1, ...
Understanding the Equine Distal Limb
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Studies examining health of the distal limb and lameness conditions are important for education and future research. It is hypothesized that changes to the external hoof would result in alterations to blood flow throughout ...
The Effects of Maternal Diet on Passive Transfer of Immunity to the Neonatal Beef Calf, and Calf Immune Response to Vaccination and Immunostimulants
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
To investigate the effects of maternal diet on passive transfer of immunity to the neonatal beef calf, and calf immune response to vaccination and immunostimulants, three experiments (Exp.) were completed. Results from ...
Understanding the Role of Uterine Blood Flow on Offspring Development and Meat Quality in Swine
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Piglets that are born with low viability have increased mortality during early life, result in increased labor by personnel and potential animal welfare concerns. Producers focused on improving ovulation rates with the ...
Effects of Feeding 60% Dried Corn Distillers Grains Plus Solubles on Yearling Bull Reproduction
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Thirty-six half-sibling Angus bulls were assigned one of three diets: 1) 60% corn-based (CON; S = 0.18%; n = 12); 2) 60% DDGS replacing corn (60DDGS; S = 0.55% DM; n = 12); 3) CON diet + equivalent sulfur of 60DDGS added ...
Effects of Implanting Strategy and Zilpaterol Hydrochloride on the Calpain Proteolytic System in Sectioned Beef Steaks for Two Time Periods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an anabolic implant and its use with the beta-adrenergic agonist zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) the calpain proteolytic system activity across specific areas of the ...
Effects of Protein Supplement During the Last Third of Pregnancy on Blood Flow to the Mammary Gland in Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Calves born to cows fed a protein supplement during late pregnancy have greater production characteristics compared to calves from cows not supplemented, despite similar birth weights. Our hypothesis was that cows receiving ...
