Involvement of formaldehyde in depressed iron absorption in mink and rats fed Pacific hake (Merluccius productus)

Creator:: Costley, Gary Edward
Abstract:: Inclusion of substantial levels of raw-frozen Pacific hake (Merluccius productus) in diets of ranch-raised mink (Mustela vison) causes a large percentage of animals to develop an abnormal condition termed "cotton fur" (CF), characterized by depressed body weight, microcytic-hypochromic anemia and a failure of under-fur pigmentation. Observations by several groups of...

Meat tenderness studies : 1. Electrical stimulation-delayed chilling of beef carcasses. 2. Protein quality of pressurized meat

Creator:: Ali, Elgasim Elgasim
Abstract:: A 2x2 factorial experimental design with 2 replications was used to study the effects of a combination of electrical stimulation and delayed chilling of pre-rigor muscle on meat characteristics. Twenty Standard and Good grade beef cattle were slaughtered and 5 carcasses were assigned to each of the 4 treatments. Meat...

Cardiovascular changes during pregnancy in the ewe

Creator:: Parer, Julian Thomas, 1934-
Abstract:: In order to study maternal cardiovascular adjustments to pregnancy, serial determinations were carried out on five pregnant and lour nonpregnant ewes. Measurements were made at approximately two to three week intervals, and continued for nine weeks after delivery. Cardiac output was measured with the dye dilution technique using Evans blue...

Vitamin E, selenium and tri-o-cresylphosphate interrelationships

Creator:: Shull, Lee R.
Abstract:: A two-part study was conducted to investigate some of the nutritional relationships between dietary tri-o-cresylphosphate (TOCP), a toxic stress material, and dietary vitamin E and selenium. In part one, growth rate of male weanling Long-Evans rats and day-old Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) was used to determine the protective action...

Involvement of inorganic and organic components in the laxative effect of cane final molasses

Creator:: Campbell, Michael Dennis
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of inorganic and organic components of molasses on the laxative problem encountered when molasses makes up a large portion of livestock rations. In a series of four trials 280 male Long Evans rats weighing approximately 50 grams each were placed...

Crystallin proteolysis in lens during aging and cataract formation

Creator:: Ueda, Yoji
Abstract:: The major purpose of this research was to characterize partially degraded proteins appearing in the ocular lens during aging and cataract, and to identify the responsible proteolytic activities. This research is significant, because increased protein degradation is associated with lens opacification and cataract. Determining the sites where lens proteins become...

Potential new protein sources for monogastric animals

Creator:: Kinzell, John Harold
Abstract:: A series of four trials was conducted to evaluate activated sewage sludge (AcSS) as a protein source. In the first trial the protein efficiency ratio (PER) of sun-dried and auto-claved, sun-dried AcSS was measured with rats. Growth of AcSS-fed rats was extremely poor as compared to those rats fed casein,...

The ability of a yeast-derived cell wall preparation to minimize toxic effects of high-alkaloid tall fescue straw in beef cattle

Creator:: Merrill, Melissa L.
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of a yeast-derived cell wall preparation (YCW) on forage intake and digestibility, ruminal fermentation characteristics, serum prolactin and prolactin stores, and milk production in beef cattle consuming high-alkaloid tall fescue straw. In Exp. 1, 16 Angus x Hereford ruminally cannulated steers (200...

Evaluation of bamboo as livestock forage and applications of Yucca schidigera and Quillaja saponaria products in agriculture

Creator:: Greenway, Stephanie L.
Abstract:: Byproducts of bamboo processing, such as leaves and branches, may have potential as a livestock feedstuff. The objectives of this study were to evaluate seasonal changes in proximate composition of several bamboo species and reed canarygrass, and subsequently determine the digestibility of bamboo in ponies. Monthly samples of Phyllostachys bissetii,...
