The effect of nicotinic acid supplementation during late-gestation on lipolysis and feed intake during the transition period

Creator:: Chamberlain, Jason L.
Abstract:: An experiment was conducted with 27 multiparous Holstein and 27 multiparous Jersey cows to determine if nicotinic acid (NA) supplementation during the prepartum phase of the transition period decreases lipolysis and improves dry matter intake and to determine if Holstein and Jersey cows respond similarly to NA supplementation. Cows were...

The relationship of estradiol to embryo-maternal interactions in the llama

Creator:: Powell, Susan A.
Abstract:: In the first experiment, estradiol production was measured in cultured embryos collected on Days 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 post-mating. Estradiol was detected in Day 7 embryos and production increased approximately 50-fold (P<0.05) in medium recovered from Day 13 compared to Day 11 embryos and was greatest (P<0.05) from...

Membrane-type matrix metalloproteinase and inhibitor expression in sheep embryos and uterus

Creator:: Paul, Katy Beth
Abstract:: Expression of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT) and tissue inhibitors of matrix metalloproteinases (TIMP) was evaluated in sheep embryos and uterus during the pre- and peri-implantation periods. Embryos and uterine samples were surgically collected from ewes on days 9, 11, 13, and 15 of pregnancy (n=3 ewes/day) and of the estrous...

Evaluation of responses to selection and association among specific traits in three populations of swine

Creator:: Smith, Edward J. M. S.
Abstract:: Oregon State University swine herd records of 456 litters farrowed between 1962-73 in three populations were analyzed on a generation basis to compare changes in performance of a Composite population to parental Berkshire and Yorkshire breeds. Analysis was performed in six discrete and overlapping generations on backfat thickness, loin eye...

Evaluation of wet brewers' grain ensiled with low quality forages

Creator:: Kennedy, Matthew A. (Matthew August)
Abstract:: Two experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of wet brewers' grain (WBG) alone and with straw so it can be used as part of the sole ration for ruminants. In Exp. 1, WBG was ensued alone and was mixed with one of two straws, wheat or tall fescue grass...

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...

Comparison of head morphometric traits within five selected performance types of Quarter Horses (Equus caballus)

Creator:: Smith, Elana Morgana
Abstract:: A study was conducted to investigate if morphometric facial measurements could be utilized to differentiate five categorical performance types of Quarter Horses. The five categories being Western, Halter, English, Reining, and Cutting. The measurements were collected from 323 registered Quarter Horses representing animals who ranged in age from one year...

Intrauterine migration of the porcine embryo

Creator:: Pope, William Frederick
Abstract:: The mechanism(s) involved with intrauterine migration of the porcine embryo was investigated. Twenty-four gilts on Days 6, 9 and 12 of gestation (Day 0 = 1st day of estrus) were utilized to examine the relationship between myometrial activity and intrauterine migration. On Day 2, embryos were flushed from one oviduct...

Gene expression in the peripartum canine placenta

Creator:: Fellows, Elizabeth Jane
Abstract:: This research investigated gene expression in the canine placenta during the peripartum period. Previous studies have recognized molecular changes that occur in the placenta around the time of placental release in other species, but no study has looked at gene expression in the late gestation canine placenta. Of particular significance...
