  • Utilization of non protein nitrogen by rabbits

    Creator:
    Mathius, I-Wayan
    Abstract:
    Several studies have been conducted to examine the utilization of non-protein nitrogen by the New Zealand White rabbit. Soybean meal (SBM) or urea added to a low protein (13% CP) diet and a positive control diet were fed to does and their offspring during a nine month experiment. Urea and...

  • Utilization of high roughage diets by rabbits

    Creator:
    Pote, Linda Marie Wayland.
    Abstract:
    A series of experiments were conducted to determine the utilization of fibrous feeds by the rabbit. A review of literature was performed to ascertain the results of similar studies. The first two experiments involved various levels of alfalfa substituted for corn or barley. Results indicated that a 50 percent alfalfa...

  • Temporal effects of Dexamethasone on skeletal muscle protein metabolism in rabbits

    Creator:
    Yeh, Jan-ying
    Abstract:
    Glucocorticoids are growth-inhibiting steroids. They have been reported to reduce muscle growth by reducing protein synthesis. However, their actions on muscle protein degradation remain equivocal. Glucocorticoids have been reported to transiently increase muscle protein degradation, to not affect this process and to reduce muscle protein degradation. Reasons for these conflicting...

  • Ova tranfers in sheep and rabbits : studies on material influences and irradiation damage

    Creator:
    Hunt, William Lynn
    Abstract:
    The first study utilized ova transfer in sheep and involved hormonal treatments for synchronization of estrus and superovulation in an investigation of crossbred maternal influences on inbred and linecross lambs. Synchronization of estrus in ewes was achieved effectively with either oral progestogen, 6 α-methyl-17α-hydroxy-progesterone acetate (60 mg./ewe/day), or intramuscular injections...

  • Forage utilization by rabbits

    Creator:
    Harris, David Joseph
    Abstract:
    Several experiments were conducted to evaluate various forages and forage levels for use in rabbit diets. Several tropical forages were evaluated for their potential in feeding rabbits. One of the tropical forages, Desmodium distortum produced better growth performance than alfalfa meal. The tropical forages were used to derive prediction equations...

  • Evaluation of tropical forages and by-product feeds for rabbit production

    Creator:
    Raharjo, Yono C.
    Abstract:
    An evaluation was made on the nutritive value of tropical forages and by-product feeds for rabbit production. Digestibility of nutrient fractions, feed preferences, growth, combination of forages, supplementation of micro and macro nutrients and/or effects of drying temperature on the quality of four groups of forages, namely woody legumes (WL),...

  • Evaluation of tree forage as a nontraditional feedstuff for small livestock

    Creator:
    Ayers, Anne Christine
    Abstract:
    Five experiments were conducted to evaluate tree forage as a feedstuff for small livestock, using the foliage of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) and hybrid poplar (Populus spp.). In the first trial, rabbits were fed diets containing 40% alfalfa (control), and 10%, 20% and 40% poplar leaves (PL) from untrimmed or...

  • Evaluation of rabbit breeds and crosses for overall commercial productivity

    Creator:
    Lukefahr, Steven D.
    Abstract:
    In two breeding experiments, straightbred and crossbred rabbits were evaluated for performance characters relating to reproduction, disease resistance, growth and carcass quality. In the first experiment, New Zealand White CNN) and Flemish Giant (FG) straightbreds and FG sire x (Florida White-New Zealand White dam) terminal-crossbreds (TX) were involved. Reproductive performance...

    Creator:
    Ou, Bor-rung
    Abstract:
    Objectives of this study were to examine effects of age, castration and gestation on actvities of calpains and calpastatin in skeletal muscle. Also, the regulation of calpains and calpastatin at the molecular level was investigated. Two experiments were designed. Experiment 1 was designed to evaluate effects of age and castration...
