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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
The Effects of Late Gestational Exercise on Colostrum Quality and Neonatal Immunoglobulin Absorption
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
To investigate the effects that late gestational exercise has on ewe performance and colostrum IgG levels, and to evaluate how it impacts neonatal serum IgG absorption and future performance, thirty-two multiparous Dorset ...
