  • Quantitative genetics of chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta (Walbaum)

    Creator:
    Smoker, William Williams
    Abstract:
    Chum salmon from different stocks were bred together in two experiments. Three stocks contributed gametes to one experiment, two stocks to another. Sibling groups of eggs, alevins, and fry were maintained in a common environment. Variability of development rates, rearing performance, susceptibility to disease, and behavioral traits was partitioned into...

  • Alfalfa protein concentrate in milk replacer formulas for dairy calves

    Creator:
    Mohyeldin, Mohamed Taha
    Abstract:
    To reduce the loss of feeding calves during the nursing period and to conserve milk for human consumption research has been conducted to develop milk replacer formulas which result in calf performance comparable to that of milk. In the first section of this investigation different aspects of utilization of fats,...

  • Evaluation of combining ability in mosquitofish

    Creator:
    Pongthana, Nuanmanee
    Abstract:
    Two replications of a half dial lei cross experiment were performed among four inbred lines of mosquitofish, Gambusia affinis. These inbred lines originated from three random-bred stocks: OR, TX and CD. The experiment was conducted as a completely randomized design. Experimental material consisted of parental lines and F₁ populations maintained...

  • Selenium from industrial wastes for grazing livestock

    Creator:
    Finkelstein, Eve-Karen
    Abstract:
    Two experiments were conducted to evaluate supplementation methods and availability of selenium from environmental waste materials to grazing livestock as a potential means of waste recycling. One involved incorporation of wastes into salt for freechoice supplementation to the animals themselves, the second involved fertilizer amendments with wastes to grow Orchardgrass...

  • 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...

  • An appraisal of risks and benefits in the provision of selenium for beef cattle

    Creator:
    Hathaway, Ronald L.
    Abstract:
    Three experimental grazing trials were conducted to explore the hypothesis that in the Klamath Basin, a higher level of selenium supplementation is necessary than those proven adequate elsewhere. Two forage species were investigated: Festuca arundinaeca and Agropyron repens, in 0.61 hectare plots, both grown in a selenium deficient soil area....

  • Implications of selenium status for various metabolic and performance parameters in beef cattle

    Creator:
    Drake, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    Metabolic and performance parameters of beef calves were compared between Se supplemented (Se) and control (C) dam treatment groups from known Se deficient cattle. Four trials were conducted at three locations involving 50, 36, 25 and 39 experimental dam/calf pairs. Se supplementation was either two 30 gram oral boluses (90%...

  • The effect of high carbohydrate, low fat diets on lipoprotein lipids, apoproteins, nutritional status and diabetic control in insulin dependent (Type I) diabetes mellitus

    Creator:
    Hollenbeck, Clarie
    Abstract:
    Recently, high carbohydrate diets were recommended for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. All aspects of these diets, however, have not been fully tested — particularly in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The present study was designed to investigate the effects of high carbohydrate, low fat diets (HCLFD) on blood glucose...

    Abstract:
    The present study was designed to investigate the effects of exercise on vitamin B-6 metabolism. Four groups of subjects (intermittent, college, untrained, and high school) consisting of nineteen male and two female individuals, participated in the study. The subjects exercised either on a bicycle ergometer, by running three 1500 meter...

  • Influence of controlled strenuous exercise on vitamin B-6 metabolism in man : effects of carbohydrate depletion-repletion diets and vitamin B-6 supplements

    Creator:
    Hatcher, Lauren Francis
    Abstract:
    Recent studies in men have shown plasma levels of vitamin B-6 and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), the active form of vitamin B-6, to increase with exercise. It was hypothesized that muscle glycogen phosphorylase might be the source of these increases as this enzyme has been shown to increase with increasing vitamin...
