Supplementation of Corn Dried Distiller's Grains Plus Solubles to Gestating Beef Cows Fed Low-Quality Forage
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
To investigate the effects of corn dried distiller’s grains plus solubles (DDGS) supplementation to cows during late gestation, 27 multiparous beef cows were divided randomly into 2 treatment groups (CON; n = 15; SUP = ...
Circulating Risk Factors for Obesity-Related Metabolic Disorders Associated with a Low-Glycemic Beef Diet Fed via a Swine Biomedical Model
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This study was conducted to determine if differences in blood chemistry are associated with a high fat ground beef diet. Ten crossbred gilts were allocated to a red meat (GB; cooked ground beef; 60% lean) or high-carbohydrate ...
Impacts of Supplemental Arginine on Ewe Reproductive Performance
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of injectable and oral arginine (Arg) supplementation provided 14 d post-breeding on reproductive performance of fall lambing ewes. Upon estrus detection (d 0) ewes ...
Winter Feeding Strategies: Implications of Corn Supplementation on Gestating Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Overwintered, gestating beef cows fed low-quality forage are at risk of nutrient restriction which can lead to compromised growth and poor carcass quality in their offspring. In many species, poor maternal nutrition also ...
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 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 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 ...
