Development and Application of Camelid Molecular Cytogenetic Tools

Creator:: Avila, Felipe, Das, Pranab J., Kutzler, Michelle, Owens, Elaine, Perelman, Polina, Rubes, Jiri, Hornak, Miroslav, Johnson, Warren, and Raudsepp, Terje
Abstract:: Cytogenetic chromosome maps offer molecular tools for genome analysis and clinical cytogenetics and are of particular importance for species with difficult karyotypes, such as camelids (2n = 74). Building on the available human-camel zoo-fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) data, we developed the first cytogenetic map for the alpaca (Lama pacos,...

Folic acid response of chicks and poults fed diets containing ingredients from natural sources

Creator:: McKeen, William David
Abstract:: Eight experiments, two with poults and six with chicks, were undertaken to determine the requirement for supplemental folic acid as related to protein level and major protein source. Protein levels for chicks and poults were 21, and 28 or 28 and 32%, respectively. Major protein sources were soybean meal, fish...

Xanthohumol lowers body weight and fasting plasma glucose in obese male Zucker fa/fa rats

Creator:: Legette, LeeCole L., Luna, Arlyn Y. Moreno, Reed, Ralph L., Miranda, Cristobal L., Bobe, Gerd, Proteau, Rosita R., and Stevens, Jan F.
Abstract:: Obesity contributes to increased risk for several chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Xanthohumol, a prenylated flavonoid from hops (Humulus lupulus), was tested for efficacy on biomarkers of metabolic syndrome in 4 week old Zucker fa/fa rats, a rodent model of obesity. Rats received daily oral doses...

Gonadotropin releasing hormone-induced alteration of corpus luteum function in beef heifers

Creator:: Rodger, Lynn Dian
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effects of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) on the function of the bovine corpus luteum during the estrous cycle. In Experiment 1, 10 heifers were assigned randomly into two groups with each heifer serving as her own control. Heifers in Group I (n=5) were...

Effect of dietary crude protein level and source of supplemental protein on performance of commercial rabbits

Creator:: Sanchez, William K.
Abstract:: A study was conducted to determine the effect of dietary protein on performance of commercial New Zealand White rabbits. In Part I of this study, three levels of crude protein (17.5, 19 and 20.5%) were fed to lactating does and their offspring during a 12 month period. Total rabbits born...

Inheritance of active and passive immune responses in sheep

Creator:: Berggren-Thomas, Priscilla L.
Abstract:: Six hundred sixteen ewes of six strains were inoculated twice with ovalbumin in Fruends' incomplete adjuvant in order to investigate genetic variation in immune response. Blood samples were collected from the ewes 6 days post-second injection. Serum samples were also collected from their 709 lambs, born in June 1984, between...

Inheritance of antibodies synthesized against IBR vaccine and of complement C3 component in weanling calves

Creator:: Muggli, Noelle Elizabeth
Abstract:: Three sets of blood samples were taken from 532 beef calves of two populations at 24 to 48 h after birth, at an average age of 164 d (at time of vaccination for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis virus or IBRV) and at an average age of 224 d (60 d postvaccination)....

Two uses of the synthetic progestagen altrenogest for aiding in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in mares

Creator:: Weeks, Linda C.
Abstract:: Studies were conducted in order to evaluate the efficacy of the orally active, synthetic progestagen, altrenogest, for assisting in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy in mares. In experiment I, nine pony mares were bred, and started on altrenogest treatment on Day 4 after ovulation. On Day 10 after ovulation,...

Dietary factors influencing enteric disorders of rabbits

Creator:: Grobner, Mark A.
Abstract:: An extensive literature review into the causes and controls of diarrhea was followed by three weanling rabbit performance trials to examine the influence of dietary modifications on diarrhea in the rabbit. In the first set of experiments, the ion exchangers clinoptilolite (0, 1.5 and 3.0%) and sodium bentonite (0 and...

Use of grape pomace as a substitute for barley grain in diets of wintering ewe lambs

Creator:: Hamdi, Mohamed A.
Abstract:: Tunisia, like many other countries in the world, suffers from a shortage of feedstuffs and an overall nutrition problem is facing the livestock industry. Large quantities of feeds are imported to meet the animals' needs in energy and protein. At the same time, considerable quantities of crop residues and agro-industrial...
