Comparison of Canine Spermatozoa Motility, Morphology, and RNA Integrity Using Three Different Cell Purification Solutions

Creator:: Hegedus, Rachel M.
Abstract:: Transcriptome gene expression studies of sperm RNA have been utilized in a variety of different species to investigate causes of male infertility. Previous research investigators have optimized cell separation and RNA isolation techniques for each species of interest. To date, no study has been completed for dogs. The objective of...

Dairy Cattle Nutrition and its Effect on Production, Milk, and Human Health

Creator:: Swanson, Katherine L.
Abstract:: As the world population continues to grow we must look for smarter and more sustainable ways to feed everyone. Milk is the first food humans consume and is a good source of protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The following studies sought to determine the effect of feeding blackberry pomace as a...

Effect of Agronomically Selenium Biofortified Hay on Oxidative Status, Metabolic and Inflammatory Biomarkers, and Immune Response of Transition Primiparous Dairy Cows and Se Transfer and Glutathione Peroxidase Activity in their Calves

Creator:: Jaaf, Shana S.
Abstract:: During the peripartum period (3 weeks before through 3 weeks after calving, a.k.a. “transition”), high producing dairy cows experience, among others, , oxidative stress and immune suppression that compromise performance and increased incidence of diseases.Among trace minerals, supplementation of Selenium (Se) can help to improve the transition by enhancing glutathione...

Effect of Milk Supplementation on Bone Development in Pre-Pubertal Pigs

Creator:: Batty, Brandon S.
Abstract:: Bone is much more than a simple, static organ. While its classical functions of mineral storage, organ protection, and locomotion still hold true, further studies into the skeleton have revealed a dynamic system capable of signaling, communication, remodeling, and responding to various stimuli. Overall skeletal health is critically important to...

Effects of Diversity and Spatial Separation of Pastures on Forage Production, Milk Yields, N Partitioning and Methane Emissions

Creator:: Carmona Flores, Lorena F.
Abstract:: Diverse pastures containing multiple species help extend the grazing season and reduce the reliance on one or two species to meet all the nutritional requirements of livestock. Planting pasture species in spatially separated adjacent strips can increase the proportion of pasture plants with certain agronomic and nutritional attributes such as...

Effects of Dried Chicory Root on Parasite Loads and Complete Blood Count of Sheep

Creator:: Kirschten, Haley M.
Abstract:: Growing concerns over the rise of anthelmintic resistant populations of gastrointestinal nematodes (GINs) have led producers to look for alternative means of treatment. These sentiments have been echoed by organic producers, who are restricted from the use of synthetically derived anthelmintics in the US. Chicory has emerged as a potential...

Evaluating pollinator populations and lamb productivity from simple, diverse, and legume pastures in a dual use pasture system

Creator:: Caudillo, Mia C.
Abstract:: Dual use pasture systems, sometimes referred to as dual purpose pasture systems, take advantage of the land being used to maximize multiple outputs from a single area. Developing a system to support both production of grazing livestock as well as pollinator health is of increasing importance in pasture-based farming systems....

Forage production, dual use potential, and trait variation in chicory grown in the Pacific Northwest

Creator:: Seeno, Elizabeth
Abstract:: Grasslands in the Pacific Northwest are characterized by seasonally wet, acidic soils that mainly support cool season grasses and a limited number of legume species. A major limitation to efficient animal production in grass-dominant pastures is the decline in the herbage growth rate and nutritional quality of forage from late...

Influence of Biotic and Abiotic Factors on Yeast Communities during Cold Soak and the Consequences for Wine Aroma

Creator:: Johnson, Jared D.
Abstract:: Pre-fermentation cold soak is a winemaking technique used to alter the color, mouthfeel, and aroma of red wine. While it is still debated what impact cold soak has on these wine quality parameters, current thoughts are that resident yeast populations found in fresh grape must play a role in altering...

Lipid Metabolism and the Broiler Chicken : Effect of Dietary n-3 Fatty Acids

Creator:: Head, Brian A.
Abstract:: In broiler chickens, hepatic lipid metabolism plays a significant role in whole body and muscle fatty acid (FA) incorporation. Flax seed is a rich source of α-linolenic acid and can be used to increase n-3 FA in poultry meat. Previous studies have shown that flax seed in combination with carbohydrase...
