Physiological effects of forb and legume pastures on lactating dairy cows as indicated by blood parameters

Creator:

Marr, Kaylee M.

Abstract:

Use of secondary metabolites in legumes and herbs as forage for dairy cattle is tested through analysis of blood parameters including beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHBA), cholesterol, urea, creatinine, haptoglobin, bilirubin, thiol groups and advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP). The pasture treatments were grass-based (‘Perun’ festulolium (X Festulolium braunii), ‘Rustler’ tall fescue (Festuca...

Diet overlap by DNA metabarcoding of mule deer, elk, and cattle in ponderosa pine forest of eastern Oregon

Creator:

Faber, M. Kate

Abstract:

Millions of acres of rangeland in the western U.S. is shared habitat by elk (Cervus canadensis), mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus), and cattle (Bos taurus). Potential competition between these ungulates for the same forage species can be understood from their diet composition. I used DNA metabarcoding methods with trnL primers to...

Effects of selenium supplementation during different trimesters of pregnancy on non-specific humoral immunity of pregnant beef cows and persistence of antibodies in their newborn calves

Creator:

Thompson-Hernandez, Ian

Abstract:

Immunosuppression during the periparturient period leads to increased susceptibility to infectious diseases in beef cows. Newborn calves rely on passive transfer of antibodies from their mothers at birth for protection against diseases in the first two months of age. It is unknown if supranutritional Se supplementation of cows during pregnancy...

Pollen fidelity of Apis mellifera L. during pollination of Limnanthes alba Hartw. ex Benth. ssp. alba, Limnanthaceae

Creator:

Abstract:

Limnanthes alba, commonly known as meadowfoam is a popular commercial crop because its seed oil is composed of long carbon chains that provide it with high oxidative stability and consequently make it a desirable ingredient in cosmetic products.
