Milk Production, Pasture Performance, and Environmental Sustainability of Specialized Pastures

Creator:

Wilson, Randi L.

Abstract:

This study investigated the effects of diversification strategy through the inclusion of forb and legume based pastures in the feedbase of dairy cows on annual forage production, botanical composition, spring milk yield, N partitioning and methane emissions from dairy cows in Western Oregon. Using a randomized complete block design, 3...

Molecular Nutrition in Dairy Cows: Modulation of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors through Nutrigenomic Approaches

Creator:

Busato, Sebastiano

Abstract:

Nutrigenomics is a branch of nutrition that seeks to elucidate the relationship between dietary components and expression of genes. Certain bioactive compounds present in the diet have the potential to modulate transcription of genes through their interactions with ligand-dependent nuclear receptors, a series of transcriptional regulators capable of sensing intracellular...

Role of Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma on Prevention/Cure of Mastitis

Creator:

Trindade da Rosa, Fernanda

Abstract:

Mastitis is a major endemic disease in dairy cows resulting in significant economic losses for the dairy industry. The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that is able to bind and be activated by natural (e.g., fatty acids) and synthetic (e.g. thiazolidinedione) compounds. PPARγ plays important roles...
