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; ...
2015 National Pork Retail Benchmarking Study
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The objective of this study was to quantify pork quality variation in the retail self-serve meat case nationwide. Center-cut loin chops (CCLC) (n=3795) were analyzed in-store for subjective color and marbling scores (2.85 ...
Effects of Nutrient Restriction, Realimentation, and Twinning on Plasma Volume, Umbilical Hemodynamics and Placental Characteristics in the Pregnant Adolescent Ewe
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Reproductive physiology in production animals is a key economic component of longevity and profitability of animal farming. There are several components that can benefit or compromise adequate pregnancy periods. Sheep ...
Effects of Dietary Supplementation of Flaxseed and Metabolizable Protein on Reproduction in Mares and Ewes
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Two experiments evaluated the effects of dietary supplementation on maternal
reproductive parameters. In Experiment 1, 16 mares were assigned to dietary treatments: control,
flaxseed, or linseed meal for 16 wk. Blood ...
Genetic Markers, Cattle Disposition, and Stress Relative to Variations in Beef Tenderness
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The objective of this research was to evaluate the efficacy of genetic markers, disposition, and animal stress on variations in beef tenderness. Warner-Bratzler shear force (WBSF) values on 570 mixed breed heifers and ...
Effects of Corn Condensed Distillers Solubles Supplementation on Intake, Performance, Rate and Site of Digestion, and Ruminal Fermentation in Cattle Consuming Forage-Based Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Two studies were conducted to determine effect of feeding method and level of corn condensed distillers solubles supplementation on performance of beef cows fed forage-based diets and effects on digestibility and ruminal ...
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 Estrus on Dry Matter Intake and Feeding Behavior in Beef Heifers of Divergent Sizes
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The biological process of estrus in cattle is known to initiate behavioral responses as a result of fluctuations in hormones, which may alter time budgeted for feeding. The current study aimed to quantify these variations ...
