  • The relationship of initial weight to growth rate in preweaning pigs

    Creator:
    Keeler, Joseph Lambert
    Abstract:
    Growth data compiled in this study were collected by using pigs farrowed during the fall, 1963 and spring, 1964 farrowing seasons of the Oregon State University swine herd. Thirty-seven trios of light-, medium- and heavy-birth-weight suckling pigs were used to determine the effect of birth weight on subsequent rate of...

  • Sheep selection in retrospect

    Creator:
    Saoud, Nabeel B.
    Abstract:
    A total of 399 crossbred ewes from two birth years were raised under two management systems, irrigated vs. dryland hill pastures.

  • 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...
