Hull Fiber from DDGS and Corn Grain as Alternative Fillers in Polymer Composites with High Density Polyethylene
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
The steady increase in corn based ethanol production has resulted in a dramatic rise in the supply of its co-product known as distillers’ dried grain with solubles (DDGS). Currently, the main outlet for DDGS is the animal ...
The Effects of Metabolizable Protein Intake and Post-Ruminal Flow of Amino Acids on Growth Performance and Pancreatic Digestive Enzymes in Steers
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Excessive dietary protein may affect MP use because of energetic costs of excreting excess N. Amino acids also may influence post-ruminal digestion. Therefore, two experiments were designed to evaluate the effects of MP ...
The Effects of Injectable Trace Mineral Supplements in Donor Cows at the Initiation of a Superovulation Protocol on Embryo Outcomes and Pregnancy Rates in Recipient Females
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Concentrations of trace minerals within the body are known to impact reproductive processes. Thus, the current study analyzed the effects of using an injectable trace mineral supplement containing selenium, zinc, copper, ...
Impacts of Flax on Female and Male Reproductive Traits When Supplemented Prior to Breeding in Sheep
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Two experiments determined the effects of flaxseed supplementation on reproductive parameters in sheep. In experiment one, 240 multiparous Rambouillet ewes were assigned to one of two treatments: basal ration alone or basal ...
Effect of Water Table Level on Soybean Water Use, Growth and Yield Parameters
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Responses of soybean (Glycine max) water uptake and crop growth to four constant water table depths (30, 50, 70, and 90 cm) were studied under a controlled environment using lysimeters. Additionally, control lysimeters ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Effects of Sex, Breed, and Slaughter Weight on Growth, Carcass, and Sensory Characteristics of Lamb
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
American lambs are often over-finished and lack consistent quality. It has been suggested that the use of intact ram lambs can decrease USDA YG and improve growth efficiency. However, ram lamb carcasses are underutilized ...
Adsorption Kinetics and Dynamics of Small Molecules on Graphene and Graphene oxide
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Graphene is an allotrope of carbon composed of sp2 hybridized carbon and arranged into a honeycomb lattice. Graphene is a mechanically strong material (200 times stronger than steel) and has high carrier mobility, high ...
Interactions of Light with Organic Chromophores: A Photochemical and Photophysical Investigation
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Over the past century, light has emerged as a useful tool finding utility in various fields such as device fabrication, the medical field, as well as utility as an energy source. Chemist have adopted this abundant energy ...
