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; ...
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 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 ...
Does Beef Inclusion in a Modern American Diet Influence Risk Factors for Obesity-related Metabolic Disorders via a Swine Biomedical Model
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Using swine as a model for humans, this study was conducted to determine if replacing the sugar present in the average American diet (SUG) with ground beef (GB) would alter developmental body composition, onset of puberty, ...
