    Abstract:
    Electrocardiograms from 12 compressed male (CM), 16 compressed female (CF), ten synthetic compressed female (SCF), nine brachycephalic female (BF), and 15 dolichocephalic female (DF) dwarfs from Davis, California, taken in the scapular lead S-II (prescapular position positive and right forelimb negative) were analyzed, The data on dwarf electrocardiograms were compared...

  • Selenium effects and species differences in hepatic metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and other xenobiotics

    Creator:
    Shull, Lee R.
    Abstract:
    The metabolism of pyrrolizidine alkaloids and other drugs was studied with regard to nutritional status and species differences. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids which are biotransformed to severely toxic metabolites were isolated from tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea). Semi-purified alkaloid crystals containing five alkaloids (senecionine, seneciophylline, jacobine, jacoline, and jacozine) were prepared and found...

  • Involvement of formaldehyde in depressed iron absorption in mink and rats fed Pacific hake (Merluccius productus)

    Creator:
    Costley, Gary Edward
    Abstract:
    Inclusion of substantial levels of raw-frozen Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) in diets of ranch-raised mink (Mustela vison) causes a large percentage of animals to develop an abnormal condition termed "cotton fur" (CF), characterized by depressed body weight, microcytic-hypochromic anemia and a failure of under-fur pigmentation. Observations by several groups of...

  • Analysis of two alternative management systems for the production of fall born beef calves in western Oregon

    Creator:
    Rosecrans, John Gerald
    Abstract:
    Two management systems were evaluated in terms of the effects on calf growth, on calf weight produced per cow per year, and on reproductive performance of fall calving cows. The alternative management systems tested were twin foster calf production and, delayed weaning, production of single suckled calves weaned at the...

  • Nutritional aspects of artificially feeding captive and wild deer

    Creator:
    Dean, Ronald E.
    Abstract:
    Most of the nutritionally related difficulties of winter feeding deer apparently result from either poor acceptability of artificial rations or digestive disturbances that result from feeding starved animals feeds to which they are not accustomed. Reported in this thesis are studies conducted with both captive and wild deer concerning acceptability...

  • The effects of aerobic and anaerobic fermentation on the nutritive value of ryegrass straw

    Creator:
    Jones, Steven Ryan
    Abstract:
    A series of in vitro laboratory trials and in vivo sheep digestion trials were used to evaluate aerobically or anaerobically fermented perennial ryegrass straw. The laboratory trials consisted of a silage study, where mini-silos were used in a 9 X 2 factorial design with nine levels of whey (0 to...

  • Senecio jacobaea : toxicity and effects on mineral metabolism in animals

    Creator:
    Swick, Robert Alphonso
    Abstract:
    Several experiments were conducted to examine the toxicity of Senecio jacobaea (SJ) in animals resistant to pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) intoxication and to determine the extent of alterations in mineral metabolism as a result of SJ intoxication. Inclusion of SJ into diets containing added copper (Cu) resulted in increased (P<.01) liver...
