The Effects of a Dietary Immunomodulatory Supplement on the Immune-Metabolic Axis in Growing Beef Cattle

Creator:: Armstrong, Shelby A.
Abstract:: To evaluate the immunologic and metabolic effects of OmniGen-AF® (Phibro Animal Health corporation, Quincy, IL; OG) supplementation in growing beef cattle, we designed three studies using replacement beef heifers (8.5 and 10.5 months of age) and steers supplemented across backgrounding, transition, and finishing periods. In Study 1, the effect of...

Nutritional and management strategies of trace mineral supplementation for beef cattle

Creator:: Puerto Hernandez, Gracia Maria
Abstract:: Two studies evaluated the mineral status of supplemented beef cattle over two different methods of supplementation. The objective of study 1 was to evaluate the mineral status at weaning and subsequent post-weaning performance of calves supplemented prior to weaning, with limited-fed supplements fortified with trace minerals (Cu, Se, and Zn)...

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...

Housing Chickens: How Much Space is Enough?

Creator:: Bradley, Emily D.
Abstract:: The stocking density for chickens can have major impacts on their health and welfare. There is no single correct answer for how many chickens you can house in a specified area, as it depends on the quality of housing. Chickens can tolerate a higher stocking density without major health concerns...

The NRF2-controlled Antioxidant Response, Alternative Forages, and Selenium supplementation for Improving Ruminant Productivity and Health

Creator:: Ford, Hunter
Abstract:: Oxidative dysfunction can affect dairy animals during periods of heightened stress, particularly during the transition from pregnancy to lactation and during diseases, such as intramammary infection (IMI), and can contribute to increased inflammation, immune dysfunction, and cell death. As such, methods for ameliorating oxidative stress and restoring redox regulation may...

Physiological effects of forb and legume pastures on lactating dairy cows as indicated by blood parameters

Creator:: Marr, Kaylee M.
Abstract:: Use of secondary metabolites in legumes and herbs as forage for dairy cattle is tested through analysis of blood parameters including beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), cholesterol, urea, creatinine, haptoglobin, bilirubin, thiol groups and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). The pasture treatments were grass-based (‘Perun’ festulolium (X Festulolium braunii), ‘Rustler’ tall fescue (Festuca...

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...

Pasture Production and Lamb Growth from Dryland Hill Pastures in Western Oregon

Creator:: Gultekin, Yunus
Abstract:: Pasture legumes that persist under challenging agro-ecological conditions are crucial to ensure high lamb growth rates in dryland pastures. Pasture and lamb production from white clover (TF-Whc), birdsfoot trefoil (TF-Bft), balansa clover (TF-Bc) and subterranean clover (TF-Sc) planted with tall fescue either as binary mixtures or as a diverse combination...

Effect of Agronomically Selenium Biofortified Hay on Oxidative Status, Metabolic and Inflammatory Biomarkers, and Immune Response of Transition Primiparous Dairy Cows and Se Transfer and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity in their Calves

Creator:: Jaaf, Shana S.
Abstract:: During the peripartum period (3 weeks before through 3 weeks after calving, a.k.a. “transition”), high producing dairy cows experience, among others, , oxidative stress and immune suppression that compromise performance and increased incidence of diseases.Among trace minerals, supplementation of Selenium (Se) can help to improve the transition by enhancing glutathione...

Effect of Milk Supplementation on Bone Development in Pre-Pubertal Pigs

Creator:: Batty, Brandon S.
Abstract:: Bone is much more than a simple, static organ. While its classical functions of mineral storage, organ protection, and locomotion still hold true, further studies into the skeleton have revealed a dynamic system capable of signaling, communication, remodeling, and responding to various stimuli. Overall skeletal health is critically important to...
