Growth and carcass merit of purebred Jersey steer calves finished on grain-based diets at two different energy levels

Creator:

Tschida, Garrett L.

Abstract:

Purebred Jersey steers are often overlooked for beef production due to the perceived poor growth and production. Currently dairy persons marketing their steer offspring are receiving minimal compensation due to lack of demand by beef feeders and a saturated veal market.

Enzyme Supplementation of Layer Hen Diets Containing Whole Flaxseed to Increase n-3 Fatty Acids in Chicken Eggs

Creator:

Westbrook, Lindsay A.

Abstract:

Flaxseed is a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). Feeding laying hens flax seed can increase n-3 fatty acids content (FA) in eggs, thus increasing human intake of n-3 FA. However, non-starch polysaccharides (NSP), which decreases digestibility of dietary lipids and proteins. Addition of carbohydrase enzymes to flax-based layer diets...

Improving the nutritional and textural properties of dairy products by feeding Holstein cows processed flaxseed

Creator:

Oeffner, Scott P.

Abstract:

There is growing public concern about the high proportion of saturated fatty acids in milk fat; however, feed intake, energy partitioning toward milk synthesis, and milk fat concentrations can decrease when cows are fed high concentrations of unsaturated lipids. The objective of this study was to identify the optimal rate...
