Maternal Nutrition, One-Carbon Metabolites, and Programming of Fetal Development During Early Gestation
(North Dakota State University, 2019)Crossbred Angus heifers (n = 14) were bred via AI, assigned to nutritional treatment (CON = 100% of requirements for 0.45 kg/d gain and RES = 60% of CON) and ovariohysterectomized on d 50 of gestation. Fetal liver, muscle ... -
Maternal Nutritional Plane and Endogenous Retroviral Gene Elements, Pregnancy Hormones, and Placental Vascularity and Angiogenic Factors during the Establishment of Pregnancy in Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2016)In order to meet the projected food demands by 2050, animal agriculture must increase production of animal products on the same or decreased land area through increased efficiency. Early gestation is one area to increase ... -
Perceptions of Modern Meat-Animal Production from Consumers Two to Three Generations Removed from the Farm
(North Dakota State University, 2019)A consumer is defined as a person who purchases goods and services for personal use or a person or thing that eats or uses something (Merriam-Webster, 2019). Consumers either want or need to eat meat, whether it is for ... -
Reproductive and Nutritional Impacts of Dried Distiller's Grains with Solubles on Growing Rams and Feedlot Lambs
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Byproduct supplementation in livestock rations is viable and can lead to increased returns to producers. Increasing the inclusion of dried distiller’s grains with solubles (DDGS) was hypothesized to increase growth performance ... -
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 ... -
Supplemental Leucine in Milk Replacer Fed to Neonatal Calves and Lambs: Effects on Growth, Development, and Metabolism
(North Dakota State University, 2021)Maximizing growth during the neonatal period in preruminants can enhance long-term growth and productivity, increasing producer profits and input efficiency. Meeting the requirements for growth can be achieved through ... -
Supplementing Metabolizable Protein to Ewes during Late Gestation: Effects on Ewe and Offspring Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2013)We hypothesized that MP intake at or above requirements during late gestation would improve dam and offspring performance. In year 1, ewes received one of three isocaloric dietary treatments during late gestation: 60MP1: ... -
Understanding Consumer Acceptance of Multiple Red Meat Products and Perceptions of the American Meat Science Association’s Intercollegiate Meat Judging Program Benefits From Participants
(North Dakota State University, 2022)Per capita consumption of red meat products totaled 67 kg in 2017. Given the popularity of meat, it is important for meat scientists to monitor consumers acceptance of red meat products. Consumer acceptance of red meat ... -
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 ... -
Understanding the Relationship Between Weather Variables, Dry Matter Intake, and Average Daily Gain of Beef Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2021)The current National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) dry matter intake (DMI) prediction models are inadequate for DMI prediction of beef cattle in the Northern Great Plains. Four studies were conducted ...
