Application of Nanoparticles in Livestock Manure for Understanding Hydrogen Sulfide and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Mechanism
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The agricultural sector is one of the sources of greenhouse gases (GHGs) emission, especially methane (CH4), and contributing approximately 250 million metric ton carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent emission per year. Almost ...
Independent Methods to Improve Meat Quality Including Genetic Technologies, Modified Processing, and Growth Promotants in Beef
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Three independent studies were done to investigate how genetic factors, carcass management, and exogenous growth promotant programs influence meat quality attributes, palatability, and protein expression in beef. The first ...
Energy and Mineral Supplementation Strategies for Beef Cattle Grazing the Northern Great Plains
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Four experiments were conducted to evaluate different technologies and supplementation strategies that may impact beef cattle production in the Northern Great Plains. Our overarching hypothesis was that we can enhance beef ...
Effects of Alternate Day Feeding of Dried Distiller’s Grains Plus Solubles and Grass Hay on Metabolism and Performance in Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Two studies were conducted to determine the effects of supplementing dried distiller's grains plus solubles (DDGS) on alternate days to forage-fed cattle. We hypothesized that feeding either DDGS at a low percent of body ...
Supplementation of Corn Dried Distiller's Grains Plus Solubles to Gestating Beef Cows Fed Low-Quality Forage
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
To investigate the effects of corn dried distiller’s grains plus solubles (DDGS) supplementation to cows during late gestation, 27 multiparous beef cows were divided randomly into 2 treatment groups (CON; n = 15; SUP = ...
Circulating Risk Factors for Obesity-Related Metabolic Disorders Associated with a Low-Glycemic Beef Diet Fed via a Swine Biomedical Model
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This study was conducted to determine if differences in blood chemistry are associated with a high fat ground beef diet. Ten crossbred gilts were allocated to a red meat (GB; cooked ground beef; 60% lean) or high-carbohydrate ...
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, ...
