Maternal diet and essential fatty acid metabolism in progeny chickens

Creator:: Bullock, Cheri Jean
Abstract:: During the 21 day incubation period, the fertile egg provides nutrients such as fatty acids for energy and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) for membrane synthesis to the developing chick. The hypothesis tested in the present study is that the type of PUFA fed to the breeder hen can alter tissue...

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...

Effects of High-docosahexaenoic Acid Microalgae and Choline in the Hen Diet on Egg Production and Lipid Metabolism

Creator:: Yonke, Joseph A.
Abstract:: The objectives of the current study were to 1) investigate the effect a high-docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3, DHA) microalgae product (MAL), and choline dosage in diets containing MAL, on egg production performance, physical egg quality, and nutritional parameters, and 2) determine whether choline dosage influences hepatic lipid metabolism of...

Management Strategies to Improve Immune Function and Performance of Feeder Cattle

Creator:: Lippolis, Katana D.
Abstract:: Three experiments evaluated the effects of different management strategies on immune function and performance of feeder cattle. The objective of experiment 1 was to compare the effects of anticipating, delaying, or vaccinating against Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) at the time of weaning and feedlot entry on growth, DMI, and plasma...

Towards a Better Understanding of How the Dietary Supplement Xanthohumol Can Improve Health

Creator:: Logan, Isabelle E.
Abstract:: Xanthohumol, a prenylated flavonoid found in hops and beer, possesses a long-standing reputation to improve health. Xanthohumol’s cytotoxicity to a wide variety of cancer cell lines is well-established. Herein we provide further insight into the cytotoxicity of not only xanthohumol, but also its non-estrogenic derivatives, to a number of colonic...

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...

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...

Identification of novel immune molecular pathways and response markers to OmniGen-AF® supplementation in a rat model

Creator:: Branson, Jennifer A.
Abstract:: OmniGen-AF® (OG; Prince Agri Products, Inc., Quincy, IL) is a feed additive containing brewers dehydrated yeast and B-vitamins that supports immune function in ruminant livestock. Targeted profiling of immune-associated genes in whole blood is an effective platform for identification of a) novel molecular pathways and b) immune response markers to...

Evaluating the Impact of Organic Chromium with Flaxseed in Broiler Diets: Effects on Production Performance, Breast Muscle Pathology and Meat Quality Aspects

Creator:: Fraz, Ahmad
Abstract:: This study investigated the impact of organic chromium (Cr) supplementation and flaxseed on live performance, carcass yield, serum metabolites, muscle lipid profile, histopathological aspects, and meat quality parameters. Ninety (n=90), day-old Cobb chicks were fed a corn-soybean meal-based diet containing 0% flaxseed (Control), 10% flaxseed (Diet 1) and Diet 1...

Enzyme Supplementation of Broiler Chicken Diets Containing Whole Flax Seed as a Means to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Human Diets

Creator:: Apperson, K. Denise
Abstract:: Flax seed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding broiler birds flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids (FA) in meat tissues and can increase human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) in flax seed decrease digestibility of lipids and proteins and have a negative impact...
