Arginine Supplementation Strategies during Gestation: Impacts on Dams and Offspring
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
We hypothesize rumen-protected arginine supplementation during gestation will mitigate deleterious offspring effects caused by undernutrition. Experiment 1: non-pregnant ewes were supplemented with rumen-protected arginine ...
Management Considerations for Successful Technology Implementation in Beef Production Systems
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Two experiments were conducted to evaluate management strategies that foster successful implementation of technology in beef production systems. In experiment 1, cow reproductive performance, BW, and serum concentrations ...
The Effects of the Nitric Oxide (NO) System and Nutritional Plane on Ovarian Function
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Researchers predict a world population of approximately 9.5 billion people by the year 2050. Current resources, including the amount of meat that is produced, would not be able to sustain that population. Therefore, the ...
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 ...
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 = ...
Factors Influencing the Passive, Innate, and Adaptive Immune System and Their Effects in Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
To investigate the factors influencing the passive, innate, and adaptive immune system
and their effects in beef cattle, three experiments (exp.) were completed. Results from Exp. 1
indicate that there is some influence ...
Genetic and Phenotypic Assessment of Iron and Folate Concentration in Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik.)
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Micronutrients and vitamins are chemical elements required in trace quantities for normal human growth and development. Micronutrients and vitamin deficiency is prevalent throughout the world. The first objective of this ...
Metabolite Profiling of Hard Red Spring Wheat (Triticum Aestivum) Inoculated with Fusarium Graminearum Utilizing Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time of Flight / Mass Spectrometry
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) of wheat is a fungal disease caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum. It has been a persistent worldwide problem for years causing substantial economic losses. Efforts to breed resistance in wheat ...
Manufacturing Optimization of Non-Traditional Pasta Products
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
A study was conducted to determine the effect of including non-traditional ingredients on the flow and agglomeration properties of flour formulations, the rheological behavior of pasta dough, and the physical and cooked ...
Structurally Diverse Arabinoxylan Hydrolyzates: Their Activity as Immunomodulators and their Effect on Growth of Bacteroidetes
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Arabinoxylan (AX) is a plant polysaccharide which consists of a xylan backbone on which arabinose is substituted. Thirty structurally different wheat arabinoxylan hydrolyzates (AXH) were prepared by means of different ...
