The Milk Withholding Time of Salicylic Acid for Treatment of Digital Dermatitis in Dairy Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Digital dermatitis is a top cause of lameness in dairy cattle that results in ulcerative lesions on the feet. Topical salicylic acid has been shown to provide similar efficacy to the antibiotic drugs used previously, but ...
Impacts of Added Roughage on Feedlot Performance, Digestibility, Ruminal Fermentation, and Ruminal pH of Steers Fed Wheat-Based Feedlot Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Two studies were conducted to evaluate the inclusion of additional roughage in wheat-based diets containing modified distillers’ grains with solubles on feedlot performance (Study 1) and digestibility, ruminal pH, and ...
Estimating the Impacts of Litter Size and Non-Additive Genetic Effects on Ewe Longevity and Stayability in a U.S. Western Extensive Range Production System
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Non-additive genetic effects are usually ignored in animal breeding programs due to data structure, computational limitations, and over-parameterization of the models. Non-additive genetic effects play an important role ...
Influence of Maternal Nutrient Intake on Placental Vascular Function in Pregnant Beef Cows
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
We hypothesized that global maternal nutrient restriction during early and mid-gestation followed by realimentation in pregnant beef cows would alter placental arterial vascular function. We tested changes in placental ...
The Influence of Beef Carcass Weight on Troponin-T Degradation and Heat Shock Protein 70 in Two Different Muscles
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
This study was aimed to assess how carcass size affects protein degradation in postmortem muscle and subsequent impacts on meat quality. Beef carcasses were randomly selected at slaughter and classified as heavy (> 430.9 ...
Evaluation of Glycated Albumin as a Metabolic Marker for Marbling in Commercial Feeder Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
This study was conducted to determine if glycated albumin is associated with marbling in beef cattle. Crossbred steers (n=113) were assigned randomly to different treatments to determine the effects of feeding strategies ...
Characteristics of Health Parameters and the Digital Cushion in Horses
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Studies examining lameness conditions and health concerns for horse owners are
important for education and future research. To investigate this, a survey and two studies were
conducted. For the survey, a total of 152 ...
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 ...
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; ...
