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, ...
Understanding the Equine Distal Limb
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Studies examining health of the distal limb and lameness conditions are important for education and future research. It is hypothesized that changes to the external hoof would result in alterations to blood flow throughout ...
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 ...
Understanding the Role of Uterine Blood Flow on Offspring Development and Meat Quality in Swine
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Piglets that are born with low viability have increased mortality during early life, result in increased labor by personnel and potential animal welfare concerns. Producers focused on improving ovulation rates with the ...
Effects of Feeding 60% Dried Corn Distillers Grains Plus Solubles on Yearling Bull Reproduction
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Thirty-six half-sibling Angus bulls were assigned one of three diets: 1) 60% corn-based (CON; S = 0.18%; n = 12); 2) 60% DDGS replacing corn (60DDGS; S = 0.55% DM; n = 12); 3) CON diet + equivalent sulfur of 60DDGS added ...
Effects of Implanting Strategy and Zilpaterol Hydrochloride on the Calpain Proteolytic System in Sectioned Beef Steaks for Two Time Periods
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of an anabolic implant and its use with the beta-adrenergic agonist zilpaterol hydrochloride (ZH) the calpain proteolytic system activity across specific areas of the ...
Effects of Protein Supplement During the Last Third of Pregnancy on Blood Flow to the Mammary Gland in Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Calves born to cows fed a protein supplement during late pregnancy have greater production characteristics compared to calves from cows not supplemented, despite similar birth weights. Our hypothesis was that cows receiving ...
The Effects of Forage Level in Whole or Dry-Rolled Corn Based Diets on Carcass Characteristics, Meat Tenderness, and Meat Color
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
The objective of this study was to determine if increasing the forage level and feeding grain whole as opposed to dry-rolled is a feasible alternative to high energy rations with a similar age at time of slaughter. Steers ...
Impact of Environmental Factors on Ovarian Function and Endocrine Activity in Livestock
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Ovarian function is important in reproductive efficiency since the ovary is the site of oocyte development, as well as production and secretion of hormones necessary for proper follicle development, ovulation, and maintenance ...
Biological Abnormalities in the Ruminant Small Intestine and Its Relationship to Carbohydrate Assimilation
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Several biological abnormalities exist between the ruminant and nonruminant small intestine and influences carbohydrate assimilation. Two experiments were conducted to identify potential mechanisms to improve carbohydrate ...
