Alpha-tocopherol is a potential diagnostic indicator of metabolic diseases in early lactation dairy cows, α-tocopherol is a potential diagnostic indicator of metabolic diseases in early lactation dairy cows

Creator:: Qu, Yang
Abstract:: Milk fever (MF), retained placenta (RP), and left displaced abomasum (LDA) are three common and costly metabolic diseases in cows during the first days of lactation. Some studies suggest that circulating concentrations of α-tocopherol (ATOC) are decreased by these three diseases. It is, however, unknown if and how long lower...

The role of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in the periparturient and ketotic dairy cow

Creator:: Duncan, Jennifer S.
Abstract:: Although the occurrence of ketosis is a postpartum phenomenon, recent studies have focused on the prepartum period as key in the development of the disorder. Indicators of prepartum energy status, such as depressed dry matter intake (DMI) and elevated plasma non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) concentrations have been associated with the...

Iron absorption and transport mechanisms as related to genetic susceptibility to cotton fur in mink

Creator:: McCulloch, William John
Abstract:: The "cotton fur" (CF) condition in mink has been shown through investigations at Oregon State University to have three basic causes, viz.: 1) Feeding diets of fish comprising certain species of the cod family, including: Pacific hake, Atlantic whiting and Alaskan pollock; 2) Inclusion of rancid fats in the diet;...

Potential new protein sources for monogastric animals

Creator:: Kinzell, John Harold
Abstract:: A series of four trials was conducted to evaluate activated sewage sludge (AcSS) as a protein source. In the first trial the protein efficiency ratio (PER) of sun-dried and auto-claved, sun-dried AcSS was measured with rats. Growth of AcSS-fed rats was extremely poor as compared to those rats fed casein,...

Relative Health Effects of Intake of High-Fat Diets Enriched with Raspberry Fiber and Raspberry Polyphenol in C57B/J6 Mice

Creator:: Sturm, Marlena L.
Abstract:: BACKGROUND: Consumption of raspberry products have been observed to produce healthful effects and reduce weight gain and positively shift metabolism in mice fed obesigenic diets. In the past, our lab has successfully shown a reduction in weight gain for mice consuming RPC+HF vs. mice fed HF alone. Currently, there is...

Initiating health and nutrition programs in rural Oregon using community based participatory research

Creator:: McCulley, Elizabeth
Abstract:: The purpose of this project was to explore health and nutrition concerns and priorities of parents and caregivers of children enrolled in Kids and Company (KidCo) Head Start using Community Based Participatory Research (CBPR). The project examined the feasibility of conducting CBPR with Head Start in the relatively short timeframe...

The Effects of Animal Interactions on Zookeeper Attachment and Possible Implications for Animal Welfare

Creator:: Koktas, Cemal
Abstract:: Human-animal relationships, emerging as an aftermath of human-animal interactions, have been increasingly investigated in recent years. It is possible to see the results of the effects of these relationships on both human and animal welfare. This study predicted that caretakers with hands-on contact with their zoo animals would have significantly...

Postpartum disorders associated with high potassium forages in Holstein cows

Creator:: Crill, Roberta L.
Abstract:: Until recently, occurrence of milk fever (MF) has been attributed to prepartum calcium intake. However, researchers in Iowa have concluded that high prepartum dietary potassium (K) is the major cause of MF. Potassium concentrations have been increasing on manure fertilized soils over the last 20 years. Grasses grown on these...

Selenium deficiency in the equine

Creator:: Basler, Susan E.
Abstract:: Whole blood selenium levels were measured in 207 horses, representing 41 ranches and 11 regions throughout Oregon. Age, sex, diet, and history of disease were recorded. Diet was divided into three categories; local feed only, commercial feed, and Se supplemented feed. Region (p<.01), diet type (p<.01), and a region x...

Germicide effectiveness and taxonomic studies on microbial isolates from meat and poultry plants

Creator:: Schwartz, James
Abstract:: A large number of bacterial and yeast isolates were obtained from meat and poultry processing plants by swab and contact plate sampling methods. Most of the isolates were subjected to a brief taxonomic study and listed according to their sources. Representative food spoilage, indicator and pathogenic organisms were identified to...
