  • Adherence as an in vitro assessment of neutrophil function in alpacas

    Creator:
    Mangan, Emily R.
    Abstract:
    Camelids are known for frequent occurrence of general ill-thrift. In other species, neutrophil dysfunction has been identified as a cause of ill-thrift, and linked to chronic fungal and bacterial infections. However, no reference values exist for neutrophil function testing in camelids, which inhibits accurate evaluation of neutrophil deficiency in this...

  • The Effects of In Ovo Feeding of Fatty Acids and Antioxidants on Broiler Chicken Hatchability and Chick Tissue Lipids

    Creator:
    Schaal, Travis P.
    Abstract:
    Hatchability of broiler eggs has not increased over the last twenty years. Increasing hatchability with in ovo technology may be possible through feeding metabolic modulators to the developing embryo. Exogenous fatty acids and antioxidants provided during incubation may enhance polyunsaturated fatty acid, lipid, and antioxidant status of the chicken embryo....
