The Relationship between Pre-Harvest Stress and Carcass Characteristics and the Ability to Qualify for Kosher on Beef Steers and Heifers
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
The objective of this study was to determine if there is a difference in pre-harvest stress and carcass characteristics between kosher and not-qualified-as kosher cattle. Cattle that had a shorter time from gate to ...
The Role of Supplemental Beef vs. Sugar during Pregnancy on Fetal and Offspring Developmental Programming in Swine
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Sugar intake is linked to developmental programming of obesity and diabetes. We hypothesized that supplementing ground beef in place of sugar during pregnancy would reduce fetal and offspring developmental programming. ...
The Effects of Feeding Seaweed Extract in the Diet of Swine on Gut Health, Performance, Carcass Characteristics, and Pork Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Consumers are concerned about antibiotic and ractopamine usage; therefore, alternatives need to be found. Objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of using seaweed as an alternative feed supplement and ...
Examining the Potential of the GALR2 Genotype as a Marker-Assisted Management Strategy to Improve Production Efficiencies and Carcass Characteristics in Crossbred Angus Finishing Steers
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
The objective was to determine how the interaction of implant strategies with the galanin receptor 2 genotype would influence feeding behavior, production efficiencies, carcass characteristics, and meat quality in finishing ...
Use of Soybean Hulls in Drylot Cow-Calf Diets
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
One hundred and twenty-one Red Angus beef cows were used to evaluate the effects ofsoybean hull inclusion in drylot beef cow diets. Cows were stratified by age, body weight (BW),and body condition score (BCS), and randomly ...
Effects of Grain Type and Oil Concentration of Corn Dried Distillers Grains Plus Solubles of Digestion, Finishing Performance, and Carcass Quality
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Changes in ethanol processing have resulted in a reduction of oil in the final coproduct, DDGS, available as a feedstuff. Lowering the oil concentration can decrease the total energy in the diet and, therefore, could affect ...
Effects of Alternate Day Feeding of Dried Distiller’s Grains Plus Solubles and Grass Hay on Metabolism and Performance in Cattle
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Two studies were conducted to determine the effects of supplementing dried distiller's grains plus solubles (DDGS) on alternate days to forage-fed cattle. We hypothesized that feeding either DDGS at a low percent of body ...
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 = ...
Effect of Linseed Meal on the Reproductive and Digestive Tracts in Sheep
(North Dakota State University, 2007)
To evaluate the estrogenic potential of secoisolariciresinol diglycoside (SDG) found in
linseed meal (LSM) on visceral organ mass, uterine mass, jejunal cellularity, jejunal
vascularity, and angiogenic factor expression ...
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 ...
