Influence of Maternal Nutrient Intake on Placental Vascular Function in Pregnant Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
We hypothesized that global maternal nutrient restriction during early and mid-gestation followed by realimentation in pregnant beef cows would alter placental arterial vascular function. We tested changes in placental ...
Effects of Maternal Nutrition During Gestation on Viscera Energy Use in Ruminant Dams and Offspring and Hypothalamic Neurohormone Content in the Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
The extensive use of grazing systems for ruminant livestock and the high variation in forage quality throughout the year have important impacts on production. Changes in feed quality and availability cause alteration in ...
Treatment of Industrial Wastewater Derived Organic Pollutants Using Electrochemical Methods Through Optimization of Operation Parameters.
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Industrial operations produce a notable amount of wastewaters with high concentration of chemical oxygen demand (COD), mostly consisting of organic carbon compounds. The treatment performance of electrochemical methods for ...
Reproductive and Nutritional Impacts of Dried Distiller's Grains with Solubles on Growing Rams and Feedlot Lambs
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Byproduct supplementation in livestock rations is viable and can lead to increased returns to producers. Increasing the inclusion of dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS) was hypothesized to increase growth performance ...
Evaluation of Glycated Albumin as a Metabolic Marker for Marbling in Commercial Feeder Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This study was conducted to determine if glycated albumin is associated with marbling in beef cattle. Crossbred steers (n=113) were assigned randomly to different treatments to determine the effects of feeding strategies ...
Characteristics of Health Parameters and the Digital Cushion in Horses
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Studies examining lameness conditions and health concerns for horse owners are
important for education and future research. To investigate this, a survey and two studies were
conducted. For the survey, a total of 152 ...
National Retail Pork Benchmarking Study: Characterizing Pork Quality Attributes of Multiple Cuts in the Self-serve Meat Case
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The objective of this study was to benchmark fresh pork quality in the retail meat case in the United States. Nationally, 117 retail supermarkets in 67 cities were selected for sampling. Center-cut loin chops were observed ...
Disseminating Agriculture Information using the BBQ Boot Camp Model
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
The BBQ Boot Camp program was designed to educate consumers about agriculture production and sustainability, while teaching outdoor cooking methods with meat as the focus. Through the BBQ Boot Camp model, consumer impact ...
The Role of Maternal Protein Intake During Late Gestation on Placental Vascular Function
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Global nutrient restriction or excess can influence umbilical hemodynamics in sheep fetuses (Chapter 2). We hypothesized that a specific component of the diet, namely maternal metabolizable protein (MP), would alter placental ...
Temperament Evaluation in Beef Cattle: Understanding Evaluator Bias Within Subjective Measurements of Docility Score, Temperament Score, and Qualitative Behavior Assessment
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
An experiment was conducted to quantify evaluator bias and determine the impacts bias may have on genetic evaluations. Three subjective evaluation methods were recorded (n = 806) at weaning, including docility score (DS; ...
