The inheritance of appetite in ruminants

Creator:: Ngam, Joe Eric Tosah
Abstract:: The study involved three separate research efforts in which 10 Holstein calves and 85 purebred Hampshire and Suffolk ewe and ram lambs were employed. The objectives of the experiments were to characterize appetite, describe its inheritance and evaluate its associations with animal performance. In the calf experiment, appetite was determined...

Vitamin E, selenium and tri-o-cresylphosphate interrelationships

Creator:: Shull, Lee R.
Abstract:: A two-part study was conducted to investigate some of the nutritional relationships between dietary tri-o-cresylphosphate (TOCP), a toxic stress material, and dietary vitamin E and selenium. In part one, growth rate of male weanling Long-Evans rats and day-old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was used to determine the protective action...

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...

Nutrition and management of the beef unit for production of slaughter animals on range and improved pastures in southeastern Oregon

Creator:: Daugherty, Dennis A.
Abstract:: Studies were conducted over a two year period to evaluate alternative finishing methods for spring and fall-born beef cattle. Management alternatives from birth to slaughter included season of calving, lactating cow nutrition, preweaning calf nutrition, weaning age, calf and yearling winter nutrition, range and irrigated pasture supplementation, grazing practice, range...

In vitro and in vivo evaluations of chemically treated ryegrass straw

Creator:: Anderson, Daniel Craig
Abstract:: Seven in vitro trials were conducted to compare the effects of soaking annual ryegrass straw in solutions of sodium hydroxide (Na₄OH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH), or sodium formate (NaCHO₂) at varying levels. Dry matter digestibility (DDM) was the criterion used to measure treatment response. A 3 x 3...

The effect of various additives on nutritive value of ryegrass straw silage

Creator:: Shultz, Thomas Anthony
Abstract:: Observations were made on silage pH, chemical composition and 24hr in vitro dry matter digestion (IVDMD) to evaluate effects of various additives ensiled with annual ryegrass straw. Additives were compared in factorial designed trials utilizing .95 1 glass jar silos. Selection of additives used in each subsequent trial was based...

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...

Computer simulation of beef cattle production systems in the Llanos of Columbia

Creator:: Levine, Joel Martin
Abstract:: A simulation model capable of execution on a programmable calculator was developed to study voluntary intake, liveweight change, and fertility of grade Zebu cows in the Llanos of Colombia. Organic nitrogen in the diet and meta bolic weight were used to predict intake; age, liveweight, and energy concentration were the...

Effects of selenium and glutathione peroxidase on the biosynthesis of prostaglandin E₂ and F₂α by the ram vesicular gland

Creator:: Abdelgadir, Salaheldin Eltigani
Abstract:: This study was conducted to investigate the involvement of selenium and glutathione peroxidase in prostaglandin biosynthesis by the ram vesicular gland. Vesicular glands were collected from healthy intact rams covering a wide range of selenium nutrition and were analyzed for selenium concentrations, glutathione peroxidase activities and levels of prostaglandin E₂...
